I'm not from the UK, but I can tell you that if you want your backups to last then use Verbatim or another top tier media. Ritek is a good second class media, but others will disagree.

If your burner supports booktyping, you may want to consider DVD+R media. With DVD+R media you can booktype it to DVD-ROM for maximum compatability in DVD players. If your burner does not support booktyping, then DVD-R will be your next best bet.
