Honestly, for my money, if you have a capable system (ie Core2Duo, 2GB+, 8600), Vista is simply much simpler to set up and superbly reliable for me. I'll qualifiy that by saying I only run Intel/Nvidia combo, but I don't see any reason to stick with 2005.
The hardware decoding support in 2005 is much "lighter" than what you get with Vista and the new-gen cards so that's a tangible benefit if you ask me.
