The best two in my eyes are:

Pioneer DVR-212D
Samsung SH-S203B (sold currently at NewEgg as the SATA SH-S202B... a typo)

For DVD burning only, the LG GSA-H62N gets a nod.

For DVD-R, CD-R, and DVD+R DL burning, the Pioneer can't be beat...

If you are burning to DVD+R and need bitsetting, go for the LG GSA-H62N or the Samsung SH-S203B... with an edge going to the Samsung for being a better reader and CD-R burner. The LG is marginal at best and has horrible firmware development support... still it is a good choice.

It's the one I ordered from NewEgg just last week... I can assure you it is the SH-S203B... SATA drive with none of that useless LightScribe non-sense.

i could care less about lightscribe, you need to pay more just for the disks and my sharpie works just fine for me

thx
