I worked for eight years as an engineer in an optical disc replication plant.
We had both high volume injection molding lines and burning equipment for short runs of CD-R and DVD-Rs.
We evaluated many media brands and Taiyo Yuden was the prefered vendor.
Most of the 150 or so burners were Pioneer and about 20 were Plextors.
These were considered the most trusted brands by the industry.
Even so, drives were replaced about every six months or 3000 hours as precautionary maintenance.
Burning software was proprietary to the equipment but allowed for some speed selection with 10X being the max we used, IIRC. This was mid 2000's.
All discs were verified after burning and failure rates were very low, with almost zero customer complaints.
