The best recognised is dvd-r discs made by Ritek. These are Traxdata, DVDMaster or Ritek dvd-r's.

DVD+R work okay on PS2 version 5 to 8. Not sure wot brand DVD+R to use. Perhaps someone else can shed light on best DVD+R discs to use.

If u decide to experiment then the best games to experiment on are GTA Vice City, Time Splitters 2, The Getaway and Max Payne.

Copy these and see how they boot. Compare the load time to the originals( if they load at all) and this is a good way of deciding about good media and bad.

Try to stick to the above titles as some other non laser intensive titles will boot okay every time.

Also it is worth noting that some real cheap dvd blank media degrades over time. i.e will boot perfect first time but after a month won't even boot at all.

Hope this helps!!

Easy Solution: but a burner that supports dvd-r!!!!

Regards, let us know how u get on!!
