If you need a portable drive than go for the USB drive otherwise just take a normal IDE drive. There are some good reviews at http://www.cdrlabs.com/ or http://www.cdfreaks.com read them and choose your favourite.
p.s. I just purchased a NEC3540A and I'm really impressed by the writing quality seems to be a good deal.

No, the DVD drive itself is much slower than IDE or USB2 High Speed bus.
Same thing with hard drives, an ATA/66 bus is just as fast as SATA2/300 since the hard drive itself is slower than both of them.Win2k3 & OSX Intel, 2GB DDR400 P4 2.6@3.55 H2O, 7800 GTX @480/1250 H2O, 1x74GB Raptor, 8x400GB RAID5

Not more. I wouldn't touch a plextor with a ten foot pole.
I still remember when they were the first ones to lock their firmwares against downgrade, and when released firmwares to disable the raw dao mode.
Now some very good writers are from LG, for examples.
