New Optical Drive - Blu-ray

[Su-27FlankerB]

I am now planning to buy a new Blu-ray writer and would like to get a few advise as to which one I should choose.

I currently own an LG GSA-H55L DVD-Writer w/ EIDE interface.
This is a fine drive except that it has a hard time analyzing DPM structure for Securom protected discs.

Based on what I have read online LG drives are not very good in this field.

Can somebody suggest which brand I should choose.

There are several that I have seen.

Lite-On
Asus
Samsung

We've been carrying a pretty nice Pioneer Blu-Ray player + DVD±RW drive here at work, the BDC-2202. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it's Blu-Ray plaback capabilities yet, as our monitors here are not HDCP compatible.
