Edit:

Never tried the Budget discs, usually stick with Ritek discs.
Bigpockets are fine, used them a few times.

The "Budget" media is the cheapest of the cheap. It's selling at many online outlets for under £7 for 50. The 8x version I think is around £9.75 for 50.

These discs are manufactured by Infosmart. They're not particularly good, although they do work, and personally I suggest you look elsewhere.

Lord of the Deals are doing 100 Discrite 4x DVD-Rs for £16, these use a Sony dye, and are far better than the Budget discs, are a bit cheaper, and they work at 8x just fine on a Pioneer 107 or NEC2500A with hacked firmware (also tested without issue on LiteOn 851 and Pioneer A05-A06, both at 4x).
