Outside of Verbatim D/L DVD+R there is absolutely no way to predict reliability on D/L discs.  There are just too many variables.  The Aone discs have very mixed results on them as they outsource to cheap quality manufacturers and use lower grade dyes.  It all depends on your burner/firmware revision and what your particular XBOX 360 drive decides to read.

i have been using Ridisc 8x @ £16.80 for a 25 spindle at the moment - they burn fine at 8x but the laser on the 360 obviously don't sound too healthy (as with the Verbs) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) but when burnt at 2.4 they actually spin up & appear to read better than the Verbs  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
