What's the best Dropbox plan to make sure my video doesn't have limited playback?

I want to add a video via a link, I will add it to the code and the video will play automatically. I'm just afraid of exceeding the limit and that the video will not be available for my website visitors.

Dropbox wasn't really intended as a video hosting/streaming service, at least not as you're planning to use it. The playback/preview feature is meant for sharing and collaboration. If the intent is to just provide a link for people to click on to watch the video, that's fine, but if you plan on embedding the video on the page itself and have it play automatically on each visit, you really should use a proper web host to serve the file.

Is there any reason you can't place the file on the same system that hosts the website? Then you wouldn't have to worry about bandwidth limits from Dropbox. The file would load from the same system that serves the web page.

There is no way to guarantee this won't happen with Dropbox. Ultimately it isn't designed as a hosting platform or tool. I cannot strongly recommend enough that you dont host it via Dropbox, you are almost certainly going to have bandwidth issues OR issues if/when Dropbox changes its file sharing structure - as it has done before.
