I started burning about three years ago also. I started off with bundles of Ritek because they were cheaper. I only burned a few CDs with TDK. Now, 3 years later, the audio CDs I've burned on Ritek are starting to fail (static, skipping), whereas the TDKs are perfect. Haven't really seen too much difference with data CDs, but I'm slowly moving everything to TDKs.
My experience with TDK has been great. I don't use any other brand. Either I'm not getting any batchs of Ritek-made TDKs, or TDK has maintained a good standard with their suppliers.
