Many people say DLT is better than DDS, but I personally have had some very bad experiences with DLT *drives*, so I've ditched that technology and never want to touch it again. Using LTO has been nothing but joy these past 2 years.
I still have one DDS4 drive in service and it's been quite reliable - you just need to use the cleaning tape regularly. But some DDS drives *have* died on me.
