Reliability is key; if it takes a little longer, you just wait a little longer. If it keeps mangling discs, it costs you money, so reliability over speed.
Labeling is not important, just as easy to just write on the disc.

Any brand practically matches that wide swath of a description. The only thing that matter really is how fast can your burner write to it with minimal error count. Burn slower and any cheap brand will be able to hold an accurate burn.
If you started to get into copyprotection and duplication of copyprotection, then things change. Otherwise, go with what is cheap.
BTW, when it comes right down to it, there are only a few actual manufacturers and everyone else just re-brands the DVD's manufactured by these few. Sometimes the only way to know what brand you have is to scan it with your burner. An example is Maxell - I had two of the same stacks but the stacks were made by different manufacturers regardless the same exact label. Same thing has happened to me with TDK.
