In general it's usually better to use DVD-R's when burning PS2 games because they have better compatibility across all PS2 versions. HP media isn't the greatest but it should be adequate for now. The next chance you purchase DVD-R media look into getting Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media. With better media you'll put less strain on the laser and will have higher success rates when burning.
Also, when you get your DVD burner make sure your drives firmware is up-to-date. New versions add support for newer media and improve compatibility / burn quality with existing ones. Additionally, there's the new features and bug fixes you'd expect with any bit of software (which is basically what firmware is).
