I literally make this choice almost every day. Why? Because I can have either my dvd player or the ps3 hooked up. I do not like using the latter for playback so I'm watching the DVD version if I have it. I'd have to run the calculations but I'm pretty sure at least 75% of my collection is DVD only. I get whatever is cheapest for most movies since the quality only matters for a small amount. Office Space isn't any better at 1080p or 4k.

Doesn't really apply to streaming since I don't even pay for 4k and I'm pretty sure 1080p is default unless the show isn't available at that res.
