I would expect anything made in the last 5 years to support + as well as - (note: some players exist that support + only, it's not that everything supports - and some things don't support +).

Wikipedia tells me - is probably more common, although it's not sure - and it suggests that almost all players that are around today are multiformat + and -.

+ is slightly better technically. - has slightly more supported players around. In real terms it probably makes no difference which you choose.
