to keep the list short, for anything important / valuable audio:
tayo yuden or Verbatim super AZO --- ONLY! --- burned with a plextor 716.
any other brand / make i only touch for CDs which can fuck up and i don't have to care about. [same applies for any other burner]

Don't know if there are different levels of TYs, but the ones my shop used to buy are a flaky mess now. I only trust Verbatim.

TDK for life.
Memorex if TDK is sold out.
I've had bad experiences with most other brands, inluding a batch of Sonys that peeled apart. That fucking sucked.
