Cool Recommend me a DL DVD burner

Pioneer A-08 DVD+-R/RW DoubleLayer 16x4x16x OEM RM395
Pioneer A-08XLA/B DVD+-R/RW DoubleLayer 16x4x16x Blk/White RM530
Sony DRU-700A Dual Layer8.5GB Internal 8x(+)/8x(-)DVD+-RW/+-R/CD RM390
TDK DVD+-R/RW DoubleLayer 16x4x16 CDRW 48x24x48 RM420
Enlight DVD+-R/RW 16x8x16 8.5GB DoubleLayer RM320
LG DVD +-R/RW 16x(+)/8x(-)DVD+-RW/+-R/CD Double Layer 8.5GB RM450
Liteon DVD+-R/+-RW Dual Layer 8x8x24 CDRW 40x24x40 RM400
Liteon DVD+-R/+-RW Dual Layer 16x8x16 CDRW 40x24x40 NEW!!! RM460

1US$=RM3.80.
Sony dives are picky on what it can/cannot accept. That sony is 2.8X
the pioneer OEM, is the normal without the cool face plate, that's why its a little cheaper. Its also fast, and no error in burning.
TDK has the widest support of media
LG has the most write errors.


So I was hoping if anyone can recommend me any of the above. Budget cap is secondary, though I would prefer the OEM over an expansive faceplate. Going to buy this saturday.
Thanks

I've heard people recommend Liteon alot in this forum. So I would probably go with that.

NEC, LiteOn and Pioneer are very good choices. The difference between the models (like NEC 2510A and NEC 3500) is the speed. The latest models do 16x DVD+R and 4x DVD+R DL I believe.

Whichever you pick, definitely stay away from Sony.

Thanks. But the drives available are just these, like I said above, so no NEC yet.

I can't edit the previous post, so here it is:
The TDK is using the NEC chip
The liteone RM460 has Ultra DMA, my mobo has Raid controller, does support it. But the DL burn is just 2.8X.

So I think its between the TDK and the Pioneer.
Recommendations based on usage.
