DVD-R is much more compatible out-of-the-box. DVD+R is theoretically better IF it can be booktyped to DVD-ROM. Simply put, booktyping fools a DVD player into thinking it's playing a commercially-made disc, rather than a recorded one. Some players are finicky or don't play either, because recorded media has a lower reflectivity than commercially-pressed discs.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
