I think they should mostly be the same these days... Mine is a SATA Sony Optiarc (formerly NEC) AWG170S and I think it's probably around $20 USD now. Works fine for me since 2007. If you want to do any exotic stuff with hidden tracks on audio CDs, overburning, etc then you need to find specific drives... but I think for burning normal data discs most of the cheap drives now support every format.
