 Bob will be here soon shouting about the NEC 3540 ;-)
 The Benq is good - used internally.
 
 I use an NEC 4550. Can't speak for the LG, ever considered the Pioneer 110?

 Pioneer 110/NEC good here. Benq a bit fussy

 All perform fine.

 Well, it depends on speed. They'll all make noise the higher the speed.
 Pioneer do have the quietdrive facility on the retail models.

 All easy.

 You don't need drivers, unless using non-XP/2000. NEC do have QSuite2

 They're all compatible.
 
 cdfreaks.com recently did a poll which put the Benq at the top, with the NEC
 afterward. Bob will disagree. Anyway. All are great drives, you can't really
 go wrong with any of them.
