TDK or Plextor

Getting ready to do a little upgrading.  What do you think?  Should I get the TDK VeloCD 16x10x40 or the Plextor PlexWriter 16x10x40???

From what I have read the TDK has the better software package, but it seems that I have also read that the Plextor will read the hidden data on the disk where the TDK won't.  Any truth to this rumor???

Help me out here.  I want to buy the CD-RW within the next two weeks or so.  Where should I buy it?  Anyone got a low price for me?

Thanks for you help.  Dave
