Try standard terminal, I prefer it to item 2.
Home brew or mac ports help install unixy tools. Work on the assumption that whichever you install, at least once a year you will have to completely remove it and reinstall it, as sometimes they get in a mess.
Apple mail is OK, I prefer thunderbird, but it isn't very Macy.
VLC tends to play whatever you chuck at it.
General note - HFS tends to get unhappy (performance-wise) if your drive gets more than about 85% full.
When I first got a mac I was tempted to install lots of hacks to standard apps and the OS. These seem much less popular nowadays, but still try to resist any, at least for a while. Mac OS X is very hard to debug if it starts to misbehave.
finally, never install the .0 version of any new OS :)
