From what I've found, whatever music player is currently running on your device at the time, the media controls on the Gear will control it,

Can agree with the above, have used MX player, Spotify, Google music and now stock samsung player. All works good.

Not for me. Just tried it on Google Music and it turned on the stock music player and started playing from the first song in my files.

It works when the player is actually playing something. If you pause then when you unpause it will use whatever default player you have, but it will work as long as you don't stop playing. Switching songs will work tho

Not anymore

I used to be able to control Google Play Music from the media controller however, after a firmware update at the end of Jan it no longer works. If I try to skip track it opens the Samsung music player and starts playing that. Annoying as this was one of the functions I really wanted, skip tracks whilst walking without having to dig your device out.
