I agree with your statement completely. I have had nothing but problems with Jaz drives. However, I have had great success with CD-R and floptical drives. In fact, we use floptical drives all over our school district for 'serious' backups. We've never had any sort of media corruption problem with these drives.
We have been using the 640mb Fujitsu Dynamo, but they now have a 1.3gb Fujitsu Dynamo (dual USB/SCSI) in the $350 range. But to be honest, the best price/performance ratio is probably going to be with a CD-R or CD-RW. If you have super huge files, you may want to look more seriously at the Dynamo 1.3gb (for extremely large files, you can use Stuffit Deluxe to break apart the archive into transferrable segments). I also have a 1.5gb SyJet at home that I never use but it sure as heck works better than the Jaz. Those are going for about $40 on eBay, but the cartridge price is prohibitive.
