I have a Pioneer DVR-105 that I put in a nameless firewire box I got from OWC. It works with my G4-powerbook, cube, and works on the Beige G3 using Toast.
I don't know what you want to burn, but if you intend to do CDs, your $50 Lite-On Cd burner is going to be a whole lot faster than your DVD burner or your internal burner.
Applecare gave me a free combo drive when my old drive crapped out. It works great but it is really slow.
Oops--i just noted that Kyle noted you can't use iDVD on an external drive----I haven't tried it so I don't know. ----I got my DVD for backups (an idea that is now virtually obsolete). I make video CDs for video stuff.
