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


I have never burned a CD before and when looking at what is available in stores in regards to blank recordable CD's, I am at a loss to what is considered "better". Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

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

www.thetapecompany.com

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/manufacturer/Taiyo+Yuden

http://www.nextag.com/taiyo-yuden-16x/search-html

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/
Mlsstl, which do you get the Everest? Is there some way you can buy fewer than 500?
