Question about Ritek G03,G04 DVD-R

I am researching for PS2 media (I have a PS2 v7 Messiah v1.33 mod) and I used to use DVD+R media. All my games boot fine but I want to use the best media (i.e, least wear and tear on the laser excluding PS2 originals). I know Ritek in general in this forum seem to be the best. I went to meritline.com and see that there are several Ritek versions. My question is on PS2 laser wear and tear which one is best to use:

G03 (http://www.meritline.com/rithigqualgo.html)
vs
G04 (http://www.meritline.com/rit4xcerhigd.html)

I always thought that burning at the lowest speed is the best; but I read on a forum that burning at 2x or 4x is better (the one specified on the labels) cuase at slower speeds it can overburn pits into the media. This is the first time I heard of this and would like feedback from the pros. You guys have been great as good information is shared by you folks and special thanks to Big Hap, Ottoman and Charlie for the answers to other peoples questions.

I am pretty sure they will work since my DVD+R Fujifilm media work too. What I am concerned about is the best media i.e. less wear and tear. I read in a previous post with about the loud sounds of the laser trying to seek the tracks and that Riteks are suppose to be the best to prevent the unnecessary seek time. You can tell when you first put the game in and hear a screeching sound (it is absent in originals).

Use -r if possiblle. It is more ps2 friendly. Eith G03 or G04 will do, you can just burn faster with the G04.
