in my opinion the best burner of cheap media is the NEC 2500A. The firmware can be flashed to make it the 2510A which is the DL burner. Its the exact same drive, just different 'original' firmware.
The best reader of DVDs is Lite-on.
If you have scratched DVDs or are burning/reading some cheap media get a lite-on to read it and an NEC to burn it.

also, Newegg.com has the best prices on computer parts. I just bought the NEC2500 burnerfor 68.00 and the lite on 166s for 26$.
FYI-lite on is very reputable. they make sony's DVD readers(same drive, different name) and some of plextors(i think).
these are the sites to go to if you want to do your research.
