What is the best CDrw to handle media like Ritek Prodisc CMC

[Harrier]

Quality-wise and every other aspect, In your opinion?

I would have to say that Lite-On drives are known to be the most media friendly. Also any drives (Sony, TDK, etc.) based on Lite-On models would work well too.
But check out the media compatibility thread and look over the results.

Everyone accord?

TBH the three disc manufacturers you mention are the "big three" in the market, so any drive should handle them well enough.

I have tested LiteOn, Aopen, CIS, MSI, Artec, BTC writers and they ALL write to the latest releases of the three manufacturers at full speed, with decent C1 error rates when read back on the LiteOn (by low I mean max <25 average <10).

It's when you start to use some less common media (or get very unlucky as Ian seems to be with Ritek media!!! ) that you run into problems.
