Personally, I've had really good luck lately with TDK 80min. media. I get the
stuff in bulk at work, and it runs about $0.60 each with slim jewel case when
bought in 100-packs from CDW. I've never had read or write errors with it,
and I've used it to copy Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX media, in addition to more
normal things.
