Agreed that if you want to be able to watch recent shows on non-desktop systems, Hulu+ is a good choice. (Added an edit to previous comment.)

I just don't understand the statement "It complements NetFlix well in that regard too." in the context of your previous comment. Hulu+ complements Netflix in a different way than it complements iTunes. While Hulu+ offers a way to get a lot of iTunes content for a flat monthly rate (albeit with commercials), Hulu+'s advantage over Netflix is getting newer content.
