Need bluray combo drive

[whoisme555]

I'm looking for a bluray combo drive to read blurays and burn regular dvds. What kind of suggestions do you have? I was eying up some newegg deals and saw a few:

Asus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135220
Plextor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827249055
Asus #2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135203
LG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136189

I was looking at Asus #2 most, simply because I like the color of the bluray logo and think it would look good on an Antec 902 case with 2 other normal dvd drives and the 2 blue led lit fans on the front

Opinions or suggestions as to which drive to get?

What is better about that one over the Asus # 2? I don't think I'd get the one from newegg because the white front would look weird on this computer

Also, do you have to buy software to play blurays?

I'd go with Asus # 2 for sure.

Any particular reason why?
