Most of the video add-ons are made independent of the XBMC team it's continuing support isn't guaranteed, and with the fast past of change on the web, links changing faster than the weather and with the full steam ahead XBMC developers; code that once worked well in one version seems broken in another, not to mention the cross platform issues. With that said, I have I do have my favorites... The Top 10..
#1 Canada on Demand - A lot of the links are borken and this one isn't supported byt the author anymore, but I watch the National News without commercials almost nightly... and there is still a lot that works. So no real complaints, too many of the other plugins are geo locked in Canada.
#2 Live Streams - If you can't find an add-on... but can find the stream with a browser.. this one makes it easy in XBMC. hundreds if not thousands of live video links... with new links coming daily.
#3 I'm not sure if Navi-X is considered a plugin (in the programs section) but I can easily pass an evening with this one.
#4 Revsion 3, a lot to chose from in there...sometimes informative, particularly HD Nation
# 5 Ted Talks - XBMC is a much better view portal over a browser.
# 6 Al Jazeera - gets me alt news
#7 The Trailers - who doesn't like trailers.
#8 Cnet, Vimeo, YouTube... when I'm bored and need some fresh graphic videos to spice things up (note: I see all of these plugins as one bucket)
#9 BloomBerg - never know when the finical world is ready to collapse.
#10 Ice films to watch the insane buffering... and think how many ATV viewers rely on it
#11-50+ are personal choices...
