No idea. Whatever brand works for you ;-).

The iffy thing about CD-RWs is that they only work in optical drives
(CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs) that are functioning properly. If a drive is
failing or is older (i.e. less sensitive laser) it'll have problems
reading CD-RWs. Likewise, the same story applies to DVD-ROMs. My
laptop's DVD-ROM was unwilling to read a DVD-RW recently.

Also, with CD-RWs the speed at which you burn them can make a
difference (it can also for -Rs, but not as often). If I burn a CD-RW
at 1X my DVD-player (Pioneer, 2001 vintage) will be able to play it
back, but if I burn it any faster it won't (though, my computer
optical drives will (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-ROM/CD-RW and DVD+-RW)).
