AppleTV is easier to use, but limited by the formats it can use. If she lives inside the iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie world she will be great with the Apple TV.
The notion of it having "limited formats" is sort of a joke. I seriously doubt his mom knows or cares what media file "format" is. To most of our parents (and many of us) there's no such thing as a "file format", there's just "movies" and "music". And Apple TV plays the only ones that matter.
I can't imagine his mom calling him up, and saying
"Son, I can't play my archive of encoded DiVX clips on my Apple TV, and it can't read my AVI files. My FLAC-encoded music and WMV files don't even show up!"
