DVD-R or +R or RW? For FAT PS2 50001 mod chipped

I'm looking to get some DVDs to burn games that have compatibility issues with OPL. I'm not sure what the best format would be? -R, +R, or a RW one? I've played some of my PS1 backups just fine using Verbatim CD-Rs, so I'll be getting the Verbatim DVDs.

IIRC, DVD+R DL is the one to go for.

Okay, thanks! Just wanted to be sure. Someone wrote on reddit that -r are easier on the laser than +r but I don't know the truth of that so I thought to check which was the best. I know this version of my PS2 supports +r and they're also cheaper to buy.

Don't use DVD-RW.

Between DVD-R and DVD+R, go with whatever is cheapest.

I would personally recommend DVD-R over DVD+R if you can.

The only time when you should use DVD+R DL, is when burning a dual layer game since DVD+R DL is 8.5GB and dual layer support can be spotty due to hardware and software related issues. Games like Gran Turismo 4, Guitar Hero 4, etc are over 4.7GB.

Thank you.

I'll compare the DL list here http://wikibin.org/articles/list-of-playstation-2-dvd-9-games-2.html with the OPL list to see which ones have a problem and if I would even play those.

Right now I can buy 100 DVD+R for around $20, and 50 DVD-R for $20 with a sale currently online.
