no one mentioned that CD-Rs typically have longer life than DVD-R media of similar quality.
For me... archival for backups is the upmost importance. As a result, I use CD-Rs (Gold). I use DVD-Rs only as a tertiary offsite backup.
If you want archival DVDs then DVD-RAM is the best option in my book. The problem is not every device reads or writes DVD-RAM but it is pretty reliable.
Still I'd not trust my data to a small shiny easily scratched and broken disk. Fine to take down tpo jessops to get prints but that would be it (in fact to get prints I'd probably copy to my flash card and use that now!
