Jennifer,
Pretty much all CD / DVD drives today use the same driver when reading
and writing, so it is up to you as to what brand and model.
Personally, I prefer Lite-On drives because they consistently perform
very well in benchmarks and comparisons. Media compatibility is very
high as well. I somewhat avoid earlier Pioneer drives and all Sony
drives because of compatibility reasons.

P.S.: For writing, cdrecord and dvdrecord both will auto-detect the
driver (mmc). cdrdao will require you to choose it (generic-mmc or
generic-mmc-raw). If you are using some graphical interface, you won't
need to worry about this.
Every CD/DVD I've thrown (sp) at Linux has just worked, which is more
than I can say for Win#&^%.
Scott, I usually choose generic-mmc, is generic-mmc-raw better? Haven't
had any problems with the former, just wondering.
