To recap, there are three dyes used in CD-Rs. Cyanine, Azo, and Phthalocyanine. Phthalocyanine.is the longest lasting, Cyanine is the least. CD-Rs made with Cyanine can lose the data saved on them in just 2 years.
I did burn my first CD-R about 10 years ago - it's gold/cyanine based TDK and I have no problems reading every bit of data from it so far. IMHO: stick to medium priced media from a well known source and you are pretty safe.
Bedo.
