I have both a dvd recorder and a dvd writer and in my experience I have found using dvd +rw (for reuse on the dvd recorder) and dvd-r for everything else (both dvd recorder and dvd writer) is the way to go. As zingle says dvd-r is the more compatible foirmat for standalone dvd players.

The only problems I've had with dvd's that I've burned for people have been with the few +r's that they have had from me (after buying the discs themselves) it must be said hoiwever they did use an older player.
