What to look for in purchasing CD-R's for recordin

I won't use anything less than TDK. But like many of the gold discs out there. Oddly enough, company's names starting with M seem to have too much mids for me, (Mem, or Max not in Gold discs or Mobile Fidelity.)
hahaha

The Taiyo Yuden Silvers can be bought at these fine sites:

They are half the price of Sweetwater here: http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm

I think the burner makes as much difference as the blank. There seems to be some preference for black cdrs, but when it comes to burners, I find no concensus whatsoever.

I'll also cast a vote for Taiyo Yuden CDR's. Simply first rate. I get mine from http://www.cddimensions.com/
