For me, yes +R is the choice.... BUT it's because my stand-alone DVD
recorder (ILO) uses "only" +R DVD blanks, and my in-computer burner
will burn either. So it's convenient to keep only one kind on hand. If
I had a different stand-alone that took only -R blanks, I'd simply use
-R instead. IOW, other factors often make the choice.... either type
works fine in most players.
