First, you do have a choice for now. Many groups are putting out xvid AND h264 versions. The majority of groups haven't even woken up yet and are still using xvid (also, does anyone even use divx in the fansub world? Besides raws, I mean). As for fansubs looking better/worse... to be honest the only h264 fansubs besides PC I've watched is Eclipse's Shana and I didn't have an xvid to compare it with, so I'm not going to comment there.

However I think you're completely wrong when it comes to the lower size argument. h264 is clearly the victor in that department. It gives the same (if not better) quality at lower sizes - helps the leecher, helps the distros, and videophiles don't complain.

As for CCCP, I'm not sure what your point is.

EDIT: beaten by NoSanninWa. If I may say so myself, the h264 versions of PC are a great example of teh powah. I'd go for the h264 over the xvid anyday (completely biased since I love h264 and I encode PC, but watchagonnado).
