DVD burners - what brand should I buy?

[Kitsune Sniper]

My current DVD burner is dying on me (it can't even burn CDRs properly) so I'm looking for a replacement. My current drive is a Pioneer DVR-109 and I think it only lasted me like a year or two... and I don't really give it much use. Anyway. I've heard good things about Lite-On, but I've also heard bad things. So could people here please recommend any good burners? Preferably cheap, under $35 if possible.

Thanks!
