IMO, the best :)
'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W8432T' '1.09' Removable CD-ROM
It's old, but I've flashed it to the latest firmware updates (ie,
1.09) as they became available.

Well, gcombust is reliable, but many of the options and
configuration items are beyond my understanding, even with it's 'tool
tip' explainations ;) Fortunately the defaults work for everything
but bootable ISO burns. It also auto-detects the CD-RW, but get's it
wrong with every version I've tried. Simple enough to change tho.
Many other GUI's fail to detect my CD-RW, or error out when I try to
use them. I suspect this might be a devfs issue, but usin
'devfs=nomount' isn't any better. I don't fool with 'em past that, I
just go to a GUI that does work.
My previous problem with eroaster was that it wouldn't add some
files to the burn list, complaining wrongly that they didn't exist.
When I did mange to get them added, then the burn wouldn't start.
Whatever Texstar fixed (he didn't say), resolved the problem.
Cooker's eroaster-2.0.12-2mdk from the src.rpm had the problems,
Tex's eroaster-2.0.12-3mdk.i686 works fine. It could well be just an
Eroaster <> ML8.2 problem, and not an issue with 8.1 or older.

I used to really like Koncd, 'cause like Eroaster it's simple
and intuitive to use. But for some time now it's also had problems
adding files, erroring out. So yes, while all the GUI's are just
frontends for cdrecord and mkisofs, they're not all created equal ;)
And then it's just me, I prefer to copy CD's or burn ISO's from the
CL, but I like usin a GUI for data and audio CD's, the simpler the
better. Eroaster fits the bill. YMMV ;)
