cd burner?

I have just set up my 7.1 box and I am floored by it. I absolutely love it. I am new to linux and this is the third distro I have tried after redhat and mandrake. htis is by far the best. now that i have decided to stick with it, i want to get a burner so i can inch closer to dropping microsh*t altogether. i would love to hear everyone's opinion on which ones work best, both scsi and ide. thanks in advance for any info you wise people can impart to me. Mike not registered linux user yet, but very close :)
