Biggest advantage I see for DVD+ is that you can stop recording in the middle
of a stream, and then continue.
So PC overload situations and slow incoming streams have no negative effect.
DVD- is dead for multimedia, unusable for DVD recorders, as just in these
situations the incoming stream is much slower then the minimum burn speed.
Burning via a network.. etc all possible with DVD+ without a huge buffer.

scroll down all the way to the paragraph that says:
What does plus in DVD+RW/+R stand for?
There is more technical info there too.
