You should try buying the Apple branded blank DVDs, since they are Apple branded they'd just work(tm)

TDK are pretty good. Only one coaster in the last couple of years at work and that was when I was doing a lot of Photoshop work at the same time as burning.

Pioneer Superdrives are far and away the most reliable disc reader/writers I've ever used.

I use a lot of TDK media, but I also have some Philips CD-RWs, Memorex DVD-Rs, and Sony DVD-RWs that work fine too. I've had a number of failed burns with the Philips CD-RWs, usually after a quick-erase with Toast. Luckily they're RWs so I can just try again.

Verbatim are very reliable, but be sure to get discs with the code TYG02, which are made by Taiyo Yuden.

A good place to read about the performance of different discs is cd freaks

The new drives are not Pioneer, but Matshi<whatever>, it is that brand owned by Panasonic.

I don't know what's best, but I have two Imation DVD+R DL discs that my Panasonic UJ-846 won't read. I'm pretty sure that they're from different "batches".
