I have used both Sony and TDk with CLoneCD. Worked a treat. However, for some some strange reason I found that Samnsung discs didn't like my Traxdata writer, and VCD films came out blocky - even audio cd's were bad. Sometimes a certain brand just won't play ball, although Iv'e found this to be very rare.
As long as CloneCD will work with your writer, you shouln't have too many hassles choosing different media brands. The help file that comes with CloneCD will list all compatible drives. What are you trying to burn? Self-boot Dreamcast Games? These require specif hardware support and will bomb out if your drive's not upto it!
Also, you're best advised with IDE cd-writers, not to have too many programs running in the backgound, especially if your computer is a slower machine. You're also advised to make sure you're hard drive isn't fragmented and that you've got enough RAM in your PC to keep it nice and nippy. Do a test burn first so you don't waste your investment and if that doesn't work, lower the record speed.
You shouldn't have any troubles at all with Sony or TDK. If you do, it's more than likey there's a problem with your software/hardware setup of your PC. These are very good discs indeed.
I'm not saying that the discs you're using are rubbish - it's just that with Sony etc. you know that certain quality standards and burn speeds are strictly adhered to.
