TDK's VeloCD and the Yamaha CD-R's are pretty good for about that price.
I know a couple of people who don't believe they're worth the extra
bucks, but we've been very happy with Plextors.  I recall Sean
Reifschneider saying that he'd been happy with Mitsumi drives which 
are cheaper.  The VeloCD and Yamaha units both include "burn proof"
features.  I've been considering getting a Yamaha, because their
buffer size is greater than most units (8 MB if I recall correctly)
and they're frequently on sale.  One of my coworkers tells me that
they're getting out of the CD-R business.  I'd still buy one, but
it's something you might want to consider.

Fwiw,
