The LAV Decoder has a lot better performance than the madVR decoder, and the madVR decoder has a lot better performance than the ffdshow decoder.
In addition, both LAV and madVR support 10-bit properly, while ffdshow doesn't - it only supports 8 bit formats, so the decoder dithers the input down when playing a Hi10P file. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but it doesn't dither correctly either, so you'll get image artifacts.
It's mainly a quality and performance issue, not an issue of crashing.
