I guess for all purpose. Short time data back up and maybe a couple movie intros or whatever.

Again, you have to look at what your hardware and intended audience is.
It's pretty clear that there is a lot more high-quality DVD-R media out there than DVD+R, and DVD-R has slightly better compatibility with older hardware. -

Practical answer:
DVD+RW formats on the fly. With Nero InCD4, it only needs ~30sec of initial format to be ready for a 4.3GB transfer.
Also it doesn't need to be closed to play.
Google DVD+RW for more.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

Basically, if you have hardware/an audience that supports both DVD-RW and DVD+RW, I see really no good reason to choose DVD-RW over DVD+RW.
DVD+RW doesn't require lead-in/lead-out times like DVD-RW. DVD+RW doesn't require DVD-Video finalization. DVD+RW has lossless sector linking. And DVD+RW comes is faster speeds (8X) versus DVD-RW (6X).
Of course, YMMV. -
I have scanned a number of different -RW media and the only one I have found that is close to RICOHJPNW11 was some JVW -RW media. Otherwise it was almost unplayable on the first burn. While there is probably good -RW out there it is hard to find so +RW wins simply because of availability.
Still a few bugs in the system... -
I have a chance for a good buy on some verbatim cd-r. How do I know who made them??
