I've only used Netflix myself. I have found their user interface and service to be good and reliable, and I on occasions when a disc I have received was damaged or a disc I mailed was never received, there is a simple web interface to report and rectify the situation in a straightforward, factual manner.
There have been a few times when a lot of the Blu-ray discs had "Long Wait" on them, but that seems to be resolved for the most part.
Exchanging movies in-store doesn't hold much value to me, mostly because Blockbuster would be a bit out of the way from my normal commute, not to mention that it's one more stop to make.
One thing that might make me switch would be if Blockbuster started renting video games (specifically, for the Wii, since that's what I have) at a reasonable price. There was an article here a while ago saying that they were planning to do just that. They didn't mention what the price would be to add it to the lower-priced plans.
