DVD Drive - Any Recommendations?

[quarg1]

I am about to purchase a DVD Drive and can currently purchase for about the same price the following:

Pioneer 16x 40x
Hitachi 12x 40x
Toshiba 12x 40x
BTC 12X 40x
Samsung 12x 40x
Creative 12x 40x

Can anybody,following use, recommend any of the above, or any others?

Thanks a lot.

I don't have experience with the others but I've had 2 pioneer drives, a 6 and a 10x, both work very well.

Toshiba! Pioneers tend to be noisy.
