if you are referencing newegg, I usually get the 20 pack but then again they were cheaper before (19.99)

quality is the main concern. a few bucks more/less shouldn't really matter.

My experiences in buying both of these packs from Newegg have always been favorable. For the 2 bucks extra, by all means get the 30 pack. Verbatim discs are amongst the best almost across the board for all of their media.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

never understood why people use verbatim. I mean yes its the best but i buy 50 packs for like 20 bucks on microcenter(cheap media) never had a problem with it on the xbox or messing my laser up (been using it for years). . even if, a new drive is like 20 bucks.

Guess you're one of the lucky ones then.

The key is to listen to yourself as you type your post.
