There's little advantage to burning discs at the slowest setting. As long as you defragment your hard drive every once and a while, you should have no problems burning at 4X. Try burning a disc at 4X and look at the "buffer" levels. If they are always up at around 90% - 95% then you're fine.
If you have a separate hard drive for your shows and use quality DVD media (Taiyo Yuden etc.) then give 8X a go. I've got shows I've burned at 16X that still play fine a year later, but I wouldn't recommend burning at that speed if you're going to be trading the discs...
