I've had different CD burners over the past 6 years or so, my first was a 1x
recorder from sony. I've burned probably about 400 discs since then, and
have used all kinds of media from Sony to Taiyo Yuden. I have finally
settled on using Imation brand 80-min discs for data, and unbranded
Silver/Silver discs for audio, which can be purchased from
http://www.cds.com/special.htm They are a little pricey (but not as bad as
they were 6 years ago at $5 each) at 52 cents each, but well worth it if
you're into long lasting, high quality duplication. (On that web page, look
for the phrase "These are the discs everyone has been looking for. They're
silver/silver on both sides. It looks just like a mass replicated disc.
Can't tell the top from the bottom just looking at it! These are 80 min.
discs.")
Here's a few links that you should look at. They are pieces relating to
your question.

And the enitre CDR-FAQ can be found here. I've read it all the way through,
and found it very enlightening:
