It all depends, really. If you plan on having the game work "out of the box", as it were, then WMV (Windows Media Video) is probably your best bet. To a lesser extent, MPEG 1 is usually a sure thing, but you lose out in terms of quality and file size.

If you're planning on including a third-party video codec with your game, or making it clear that the player needs to download and install one, then Xvid would probably suit.

Or you could try the AGS Theora Video Player plug-in, which can be found in this thread.
