i would stay away from anything not made in Japan...personally, i only use Taiyo Yuden's, but have used Fuji [japan], TDK [japan], and Sony's without much problem...
here are a few reputable sellers that have excellent prices on TY's, which are what i would recommend, especially for archiving your collection
