Mini-DV tape quality ?

[TBW]

I read the following in an article on Tom Hardware Guide: "Making Digital Home Movies, Part 1" and it noted the following:

"Here is an important tip from the professionals about buying Mini-DV tapes: Always buy the same brand of tape. Do NOT use TDK one day, Maxell the next day and then Sony the week after. Different manufacturers use different lubricants on the tape surface. If you mix and match tapes, you can gum up the camcorder recording heads, causing the camcorder to die."

I was curious if anyone else out there stuck with the same brand each time they bought tape. I usually switch based on what's on sale at the time.

Thoughts ???
