I like pp=ac,hqdn3d,noise=10uah:3uah when quality is good and
fspp=4,hqdn3d,noise=10uah:3uah or pp7,hqdn3d,noise=10uah:3uah when
quality is lower.

If the image is blurred or seems too smooth (either as is or after
fspp/pp7), use unsharp=l3x3:1 after hqdn3d. Unless you start notice more
visible artifacts, the effect is usually nice.

I recommend you to pick up several postprocessing strings that you like
and then put them to config files and make aliases, for example

unsharp.conf
vf = pp=ac/al,hqdn3d,unsharp=l3x3:1,noise=10uah:3uah

spp.cfg
vf = fspp=4,hqdn3d,pp=al,noise=10uah:3uah

movies.conf
vf = pp=ac/al,hqdn3d=2:2:4,unsharp=l3x3:0.5,noise=12uah:5uah

alias mp=mplayer
alias mps='mplayer -include ~/.mplayer/unsharp.conf'
alias mpp='mplayer -include ~/.mplayer/spp.conf'
alias mpm='mplayer -include ~/.mplayer/movies.conf'

I use cases: pp=ac with/without sharpening, fspp and pp7 with/without
sharpening (all these are for anime), real life movies, no pp filter
(for dvds), no pp and denoising (for my own, already denoised rips -
both anime and movies).
