What is better - Sony DWD22A or LiteOn?

The Sony is not really a Sony, it's a LiteON branded as Sony. So it should answer your question pretty easily. Check this thread which should answer all your questions.

Lite-On SOHW-1633s updated with BS0S firmware today.

Burn process starts... stuck at 1% for 4:32... buffer ready box empty... burn process failed... illegal disc... tried numerous brands of -r & -rw... same result every time...

I would go for the Lite-On personally, even thought the Sony is re-branded, there have been some people saying the Sony use poorer quality parts, I dont think this is true, but it seems simpler to go for the Lite-On just in case, but as people have said, it doesnt really matter.

This might not be relevant, but I opened up my LiteOn SOHW-812S and inside the component board was SONY So does Sony use LiteOn, or does LiteOn use Sony Does it matter

They (Sony & LiteOn) both are the same drive. LitOn manufactures the DVD drive for both LiteOn and Sony. As you found out Sony did the DESIGN work on the printed circuit board...
