These DVD burner drives are so damn cheap now, that I wouldn't get too concerned about long term reliability. Even if you only get a few years out of one that's still an incredible bargain, these are hardly big equipment "investments" IMHO.
Also, I would like to add my work process with these. I burn on one drive and I verify on another ( read only DVD-ROM ) after burning. That way if your write/read burner drive is doing something weird nonstandard that IT thinks is OK, the other drive will be more likely to detect any non-comformation to standards problem.

I've been using Plextor... My first and only internal CD-RW drive worked for 4+ years and just recently expired. Now, thanks to my brother, I have external DVD-writer that seems to work fine. Plextor is expensive indeed but is mighty reliable. However, with modern prices one may want to settle for something simpler because replacement will always be better. Boris
