Do you mean life wise?

Yup. And ones that don't have defects.

Are you talking home recorded ones or 'factory'? Can't say I've had
problems with mass produced ones - but home recorded seem to have a
limited life. Although it seems to depend on make of blank.

CDRs really. And I don't know if it's the make of the blank alone ( I
usually use 'name' ones of some reasonably quality reputation ) or the
drives pack up early. I've thrown out more CD drives than any other
piece of PC kit.
