I'm using a LiteOn 20x SATA drive with my P5B-Plus based MB. No problems with it; works great. I haven't had any experience with any of the others, so I can't give an informed opinion. I've used LiteOn CD and DVD drives/burners for years and have not had a problem with any of them.

I also use a LiteOn SATA DVD R/W drive with no issues at all. It also seems to work well with about all media I have tried, even the cheap, on-sale Dynex media.

It will burn the cheap media. Over the years, the burners from all manufacturers have become very good at extending their compatibility to almost all media. The question you have to ask yourself when buying el-cheapo blanks is whether you're interested in being able to access the data a few years from now. If that answer is yes, then stick with blanks like those from Verbatim. If you really don't care -- i.e., if you're burning throw-away disks for short term use or copies of multimedia stuff for which you retain the original, then the Dynex crap is probably OK.
