im all ready to buy my first dvd writter but im a little lost

i picked out the hp 200xi and the toshiba r5002

the hp has a faster write speed and records to dvd+ the toshiba is only a 1x but writes to dvd-

im thinking go with the hp but something inside says that compatibillity of the dvd+ with stand alone players may be more of a problem

and im a little wary of the toshiba because i cant find much info on it

if you have had any experience or could be any help i would be most greatfull

thanks
Adam
