If people knew how short the real lifespan of their DVD's was they'd freak.
Memorex makes a decent DVD-R and there are frequent half price sales.
IIRC Verbatim has a special top of the line version of their blank DVD's that actually do exceedingly well in third party tests.
I think I've read they are soon going to add a scratch resistant surface to those DVD's.

Usually Maxel DVD-R/CD-Rs.
Not for music though, I just stick that stuff on my iRiver.

Whatever is on sale at Newegg.com that gets good votes. 
I went through all of this with my CD-R media a few years ago ... even the branded stuff you can't trust ... 'cos some of it is from good factories and some of it isn't. So you end up trying to find the right batch from the right factory from the right brand from the right retailer. Life is too short for that crap.
So... if you're really wanting to be anal about media lifespan ... make fresh dupes of your stuff every year.
