DVD-R #1 in general.
But depends on your player - see compatibility with discs in the
videohelp.com -> DVD Players -> your dvd player specifications. It'll
ist what others have found to be true.

Besides type, brand and make also matter.
eg. Maxell DVD-R Made in Japan or Verbatim DVD+R 16x discs tend to burn
with very low PI/PO error rates on most good burners, and they tend to
playback on most players better than others (see prior DV magazine, and
emediamagazine reports).
Cheaper discs tend to have poorer error performance, and playback
deteriorates due to that.
Sites such as cdrinfo.com and http://homepage2.nifty.com/yss/ and
http://dvd-r.jpn.org/ do very extensive tests of PI/PO error rates
across many burners across many media and are highly recommended as the
starting point for your study.
If you just want a simply recommendation, Pioneer 111 series,
Plextor 716/760 series burning to Maxell/Verbatim stated above will
generall produce excellent results that'll play across most players.
(Plextor 716/760 recommended because they come with PI/PO error rate
scanning software for free and allow you to check all discs you burn for
high error/bad burns.)
---
If you've bought a 'bad' burner that produces burns with high PI/PO
error rates across a variety of discs, then you're $#@$#@$. Can't make
a great burn on a bad burner, so upgrade first!
Even the Pioneer is going for <$50 today at www.newegg.com, so it
doesn't hurt to make sure you've got a solid burner first before
wondering why your player doesn't play a single disc.
