wodim is a "fork" from a cdrtools version from September 2004. The only "development activity" that could be seen was to introduce new Debian specific bugs. Since May 5th 2007, it is fully unmaintained.
I guess the situation is more dire than I thought, then, if *both* are unmantained.
Then again, both worked fine for me since they stopped being maintained. Perhaps they're "mature" instead.
While cdrdao (as long as you don't like more features than it currently supports) could be called "mature", wodim is no more than crap. There are more than 100 well documented bugs and there was never any attempt to fix them.
Anyway, I'll try to catch k3b using one or the other then, from what you say, that shouldn't happen on a single system right? I must have seen one system use cdrdao while another uses wodim. That's more likely. Regardless, k3b currently has cdrdao as hard requirement so it can't be dropped.
You may drop cdrdao without getting into trouble if you install cdrtools instead, but you cannot if you only have wodim. wodim is ancient software that misses most of the features. Also if you like to create bug-free ISO-9660/RR/Joliet/UDF filesystem images, you better use the original "mkisofs" instead of the broken "genisoimage" that is part of "cdrkit" (wodim).
