Im thinking of buying a DVD writer which should I get?

Pioneer A04 (a DVD-RW drive) or HP 200i (a DVD+RW drive) Ive heard good and bad about both these drives and finding it hard to make a decision.

what Ive heard

1. Pioneer A04 media wont be compatible with future set top DVD drives.

2. HP isnt compatible with a lot of the older set top DVD drives but will be compatible with new drives.

3. Both are capable of backing up PS2 games.

4. Media for A04 is cheaper than HP 200i, but the price of DVD+R & +RW is bound to come down in price as A04 media did.

Can anyone help me on this one? Thanks

Moving this to consumer's opinion.
