I can say that the Pioneer DVR-A04 works very well with dvdrecord. It supports DVD-R at 2X and DVD-RW at 1X, although all my media is 1X so I've never burned at 2X under Linux.
I use it daily, although I found you have to get the latest mkisofs from cdrtools to build dvd-video iso images. I use 'dd' to image discs: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=disc.iso Also, I had to use the ide-scsi emulation in Linux - I believe the docs that come with dvdrtools mention this in detail. I originally used my A04 with Prassi PrimoDVD 2.0 under Windows XP, and I've found dvdrtools to be just as reliable (no coasters yet on either platform). I should mention I have one problem with mkisofs - it rejects files larger than 2GB in UDF images. I can have several 1.9GB files in a single image but it rejects individual large files. Currently, I still use Prassi PrimoDVD to create track images with large files, but do all my writing under Linux. I use unlabelled Princo DVD-R/DVD-RW media spindles from shop4tech.com.
