Hi Kevin,

I've had good results with LG, Lite-On & Samsung. I'm currently
running both Lite-On & Samsung DVD-R's in the same PC. Both drives
are Lightscribe capable. The LG is in a second digitizing station.
Tech help at Lite-On was particularly helpful when NERO screwed up
the Lightscribe drivers. Tech help at NERO was useless and the NERO
software has since been removed.

Cheers!
