In my blissful ignorance, I've always done the verify. I guess that's because I've always used either the apple sofware or toast. Now I use Toast 9 exclusively. It's excellent. In addition to doing he verify, it automatically will pick the best write speed if you allow it that option. On my LaCie burner, the best write speed is usually fairly fast -- 8 or 9X.
