Get Blu Ray discs from a reputable brand (Verbatim, Sony). They were designed to be a lot more resilient than DVDs. Nothing wrong with DVDs either btw, if the smaller size doesn't bother you, just make sure they're stored properly either way.
BR discs are still very expensive and will most probably be for a very long time. So are the BR drives. That's why I still use DVDs.
Over here a 25 GB BD-R is about 60 cents USD and a 4.7 GB DVD-R is 30 cents so it makes sense to use Blu Ray.
BR drives are more expensive than DVD drives, true, but I consider it a good investment.
Here, 25GB BR is about $4. DVDs are about $0.20.
