try booktyping a DVD+R to DVD-ROM and see if it works, if it doesn't use the DVD dash R format for compatibility

Why are you having problems? For SL discs -R's work fine, I see no reason to pay more for the supposed more compatible bitset +R's. Remember +R's compatibility was inferior to -R's to start with. I paid a premium for some +R TY's once so I could bitset and ended up with problems I never had with -R's. For the most part any player that can't handle -R is probably junk anyway. :)

The reviews also help to determine which media gives the best results.

and yet there are articles like this that say the +R media is better than the -R media:
