Question Cd/dvd Selection

Gathering parts for a new build and would like suggestions on types of drives to install. My factory HP box came with 1 CD read only, one DVD read/write, and one 3-1/2". I have an external DL DVD Litescribe drive. The new build will be networked with other machines.

I would like to hear opinions & likes/regrets to help me decide what combination of drive types to buy.

Generally, only need one optical. Lite-on is favaorite here. If you do a lot of DVD/CD to DVD/CD copying then get a DVD burner and a DVD reader.
