As I just mentioned in the other thread about burning speeds, I've been having a LOT of problems with TY. So much that I've abandoned using them.
In general, their spindle packaging sucks and no matter where you get them from, the packaging is likely to be damaged.
Maybe I'm just bitter, but I've had WAY too many problems with them lately.

No idea what brand they really are under the skin, but Discmakers Printable Ultra & Premium grade CDs are now my top choice. I buy in bulk from them now, and use their stuff in my duplicators and one-offs.
They are hands-down the best I've ever used; next to ZERO failures or client returns. Every finnicky or balky machine (including one of my live CDr machines) performs better with these discs.

GC had a sale on Apogee Golds and I bought about 50 of them (individually jewel cased) for something like $.89 each (versus their normal cost of over $2 per disc at that time).

I'm using the Ultra's almost exclusively now, but I've had good luck in the past with the Premiums as well.
Since I buy in bulk (and live nearby to their plant in Pennsauken, NJ), the difference between the two is mimimal, and the peace of mind is, as they say: "Priceless".

Mostly I hear Taiyo Yuden, but don't get them from SupermediaStore. BAAAD packing. Mine arrived with the container smashed and little pieces of plastic interspersed and scratching up the discs.
