I occassionly download some videos from online and I have the option of either Quicktime (.mov) or Divx (.avi). Which has better quality?

Do you really have a choice?

I don't think the player would make that much difference. What format comes through will determine what to use..isn't it? Or maybe just try the two and see.

The way to know is to try it yourself.
