I have to recommend Plextor too. First, I've got two of them (PX-412C and
a PX-W8220T) and never had a problem with them. Same for my Plextor CD-ROM
drives (three PX-32CS, two PX-83C and one PX-63C).

Another good reason to buy a Plextor CD-R/CD-RW is that there is a freebsd
tool to update the firmware from the author of cdrecord. That's IMHO a big
plus.
Oh, and I saw that cdrecord 1.9 clains to support BURN proof[1], so buying a
newer Plextor drive probably is a good idea.
