I use CD-Rs for data backup and am interested in long-term reliability. I am a little confused by the CD-R factory ratings on this site.

1) I have read that Ritek now has higher quality than when CD Media World first reviewed them. Are CD-Rs made by them okay now?

2) Fuji is listed as being made by both Fuji and Ritek. How do I know which is which before buying them?

3) Maxell is not in the CD Factory list. I see these at Office Depot for $24.95 per 50-pack. Are they high quality?

Thanks for your help.
