I quit using the ritek brand when they switched to the G05 dye. In my opinion the Taiyo Yuden 8x dvd-r with the TYG02 dye is the best. They work as well or better than the old ritek media. I have also heard very good things about the 16x TY media with the TYG03 dye. Both are sold at meritline and are very affordable.
BTW, Great site Joe
