The best is Plextor.

Personally I like Lite-On because of their high quality and low price.

These days when getting a DVD burner look for Dual Layer. It will allow you to store 8+GB of data on a disk. It usually doesn't cost much more either(sometimes no price diff).

www.newegg.com has a sale on an NEC Dual layer 8x burner for $76.50 shipped. I've heard nothing but rave reviews about this thing.

I just saw a Sony 8x DL +/-/ram drive on www.gotapex.com for $87 after rebate

anyways, make sure you get a dual layer to keep with the tech curve, and then multi format DVD+r.-r,+rw,-rw and also dvd-ram also if possible just to be covered for everything.
