I need to get a cheap DVD player for a rental property. I have a
choice of a Philips or a Memorex DVD player for $24.99 USD. Anyone
have any thoughts/printable comments about which might be more
reliable?

Personally Bob, I would go for the Philips, as it's at least likely to be
actually made by them. As Meat says, it's basically a disposable item, but
that doesn't help much when it fails 6 months in ... FWIW, most of the
cheap ones that I see for repair, have very 'marginal' power supplies in
that they have tiny 85 deg caps fitted that are rated about 2 volts above
what they have to work at, and it's often these that fail inside warranty.
A contributory factor in this, I think, is ventilation, so you might want
to consider keeping it out in the open, rather than tucking it away in a
cupboard underneath the TV.

Don't encourage Philips - they are the worst. That's my advice anyway.
