Neither is better. The advantage with a DVD+R is the it can be book typed (if your burner supports it) into DVD ROM which may play on more machines. This was more of an issue years ago. That being said, I still use DVD+R when burning. Far more important is the quality of the media you are using. Here's some good reading on the subject.

Thanks. Office Depot has 50-count TDK on sale for $11. That's what I'm getting.

Each manufacturer offers a few different discs, each made in different places. I've had great luck with a brand one month, and a bunch of duds the next. In the old days Verbatim was the default best of the best, but even they have degraded lately.

That said, the last 5 TDK DL packs I've picked up have all had an unusually high number of coasters. I have never tried their SL discs.
