The Apple disks seem to be the best, and they're $3 each, so that 
should be the highest anyone would pay for media.  I've ordered cheap 
media from these places:

http://cd-dvd-supplies.com
http://www.meritline.com

including DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs. I think I had one bad DVD-RW in 25, and 
no bad DVDs yet in most of a spindle of 100. I don't use the cheapies 
for anything important, but they're nice to have around. I use to use 
Verbatim as the intermediate quality disk, but since Apple dropped 
their prices, I don't even use the Verbatim disks anymore. Its either 
cheapie or high quality.
