As for Brasero (on Debian and Ubuntu), the varying levels of reliability may be down to its depending (via brasero-cdrkit) on the controversial 'wodim' (which is a fork of 'cdrtools'). According to the original author of cdrtools, the 'wodim' fork is badly broken and unmaintained BUT shipped by default in Debian/Ubuntu. See one-sided and detailed account of the controversy: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html .
