I’ve only tried Plex TV and I only use it for my own content collection (to me, the new additions are no-op). I like it and recommend it. It’s free if you don’t want to do hardware transcoding and a few other things. I bought it for $75 lifetime at some point.
So, I can recommend Plex over null. For me, having it automatically lookup meta data and cover art is useful, but it’s by no means unique there.
There are good apps for FireTV and a basic web player. I have an iOS app as well, but I can’t recall ever using it except to browse the library.

plex.tv, kodi.tv
They appear to cover similar ground, although Plex seems to incorporate other sources of content - not really a point of interest for me.
Would you recommend one over the other if I'm only interested in my own content collection?
