What is the best method to render video frames?

what is the best choice for rendering video frames obtained from a decoder bundled into my app (FFmpeg, etc..) ?

I would naturally tend to choose OpenGL as mentioned in Android Video Player Using NDK, OpenGL ES, and FFmpeg.

But in OpenGL in Android for video display, a comment notes that OpenGL isn't the best method for rendering video.

What then? The jnigraphics native library? And a non-GL SurfaceView?

Please note that I would like to use a native API for rendering the frames, such as OpenGL or jnigraphics. But Java code for setting up a SurfaceView and such is ok.

PS: MediaPlayer is irrelevant here, I'm talking about decoding and displaying the frames by myself. I can't rely on the default Android codecs.
