Well, since the LG is no longer being made, i would say ASUS...
Anyway..who buys a DVD writer nowadays? Why dont you try for a BlueRay burner?
In my country (Iran), bluray burner is about 300 dollars (with The real dollar price) and dvd burner is about 60 dollars.
In iran, dollar has tripled.
Everything in Iran is three times to six times the world price.
