I have a Yamaha 4x4x16 that I purchased 2 years ago and it's burnt hundreds of cd's and it's still going strong. I'd recommend a Yamaha or Plextor. Most low end burners are reboxes. They are made by someone else(one or more companies) and then have a different faceplate, sticker and box put with it. HiVal is one such company that does this. As for the burn-proof, this is supported by the latest version of cdrecord. As for the LiteOn or LG being any good, well, it's a crap shoot. If you buy a Yamaha or a Plextor, you will know for sure that it's quality merchandise and won't have any problems with it. I'd do some more looking around if I were you.
