Firstly , HI and welcome to CF, as to your question you can go for brand names but after a while you will find its personal preference, where are you from, I'm from the UK and tend to go for offers so I use 7 DAY SHOP.COM, I like epro DVD-R but there are plenty others like Data write,SONY, TDK.MEMOREX the list goes on and on, what you will find is if you buy them in bulk you will get them cheaper it also depends on you DVD writer as to which type you get although most do DVR-R & DVD+R and dual layer.
