The major concern with CD-R media is really the durability and how it is handled. If you intend to use the CD-R's you create than it might be wise to use the Gold CD-R's. If you plan to just store (under "ideal" condition of course) them, then I don't think it will make too much of a difference. I normally use the Kodak Golds for long term and important stuff and use the cheaper ones for short term stuff and for sending images to my service bureau for prints and slides. I will get back to you in 100 years and tell you how my Gold CD-R's are doing! BTW, the Kodak Gold CD-R media is only slightly more expensive than your run of the mill silver media, so there's really no excuse for using the cheaper media exclusively. CD-R is still the most economical way to store digital images and with the correct media and proper storage, possibly the most archival. Maybe second to DVD-RAM???
