Here in South Africa the only reasonably good quality media available
is from Verbatimn. One still has to check where the specific batch was
manufactured. Most retailers here go for the cheapest nastiest
products they can get hold of.

I like the Liteon gear. They OEM Sony. The drives are very quiet.
I've been using Asus drives for reading, and they work well, but the
hardware seems flimsy.

Have you considered making both types, so you can use any DVD player

Maybe, but it makes you look really good when their new player craps
during the presentation and they have to dig out the old backup that
requires the OTHER set of disks.

Keep a backup copy ON your PC and burn a DVD on the fly...
You can get 160 GB 2,5" hard disks and put in USB enclosures

If you don't mind a somewhat larger enclosure you can get USB2.0 or
USB2.0/Firewire enclosures for 3.5" disks that are barely larger than
the disk itself (not much damping or room for the fan to work). You
can pop a 400 or 500G disk in there and get the equivalent of 100 DVDs
worth of storage. The enclosures are cheap (like $25 or $50). Of
course, they have an external switching supply for the HDD so there
are more cables and bits. eSATA is also available. I saw a cheap one
that was 10/100 Ethernet as well as USB2.0 mass storage, but they
didn't do the NAS stuff very well-- wouldn't use NTFS with the network
interface, only FAT32, with a 32G (!) limit.
