The Lite-On 52x32x52 is an awesome steal $59 CAD
You can also get the ASUS 522452 (same as ive got) for the same price range. Just stay away from Phillips and LG (and my personal bias, Sony too :P) If you can get the Plextor 52X burners for a decent price that would be an excellent choice also.

That would be a good drive indeed. I think the MSI 52x32x52 is just a shy second or two faster though. Good brands to consider: ASUS, TDK, Liteon, Plextor, MSI, Sony (although you didnt hear me say that -- i personally hate sony hehe)

Nice guess pardner but the Litey& Asus drives are having major troubles backing up Safedisc 3.15 (Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time). There is confirmation that the Plextore Premium (52\32\52x) backed the game up with success. So, what is the best "2 sheep burner" at present?
CD Burners
Plextor Premium (52\32\52x}
DVD Burners
Plextor PX-708A
These drives writes "VariRec", specifically designed for backing up SecuROM cd protection. No other burner on the market uses this technology that I'm aware of.

My Litey can't backup Safedisc 3.15
Many LiteOn's are having difficulty backing up SecuROM 4.85 (Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne) but I managed to get a working backup using "old school" BlindWrite Suite 4.25

While the Litey may have issues with SD3.15, for a mere $60CAD, its hard not to reccommend. :P

Depends on the user and if they backup pc\audio protection on a routine basis.Also, MSI& TDK are'nt "2 sheep burners" and later Sony models are listed as "2 sheepers" and damn good burners.

You ask me what is the "best" 2 sheep burner (at present) and it is the Plextor Premium (52\32\52x). Keep in mind that Macrovision's Safedisc and Sony DAC are continually updating their pc protections (Safedisc& SecuROM) and this has always been an issue of a "cat& mouse" game. One day your burner backs up the protection, the next day it doesn't. The Plex Premium is "affordable"..Before Safedisc 3.15 I would have endorsed the Litey 52x cd burner I recommend the following brand name burners in this order for backing up pc\audio protection.
CD Burners
1) Plextor Premium (52\32\52x)
2) Asus 52x
3) LiteOn 52x
=====================================================
DVD Burners
1) Plextor PX-708A

*Note* It has been confirmed that the AOpen 52x cd burner is a "2 sheeper" but I have to do some more research......
