Which DVD burner software should I use?

I have a new 8600.
Spent yesterday reformating the HD and reinstalled fresh version of XP Pro and MS office.
Also installed CyberLink PowerDVD

I have the following DVD burners available:

           Roxio 5.0
           Nero 6.0 (non - ultra)
           Sonic MyDVD 5.0 limited Edition
           RecordNow 6.5

Which one should I install/use? I will use these for data backups.

Grant

I personally like RecordNow Max. It's not the most user-friendly of the bunch, but I've found that it's quite informative, especially when it comes to batch processing. That said, Nero is also very popular, because it is also a powerful application.

I use both Nero and Roxio Easy CD Creator most of the time for doing CD's and specific file backups but when I want to make a system image (complete backup) I use Norton Ghost.

I say use Nero. I've been using it for years now and it hasn't let me down. Roxio I haven't used since it was known as Adaptec Easy-CD Creator. When I had, I don't think i've ever had any more trouble burning CD's then with that piece. RecordNow, I can't imagine to be too good of a piece of software. However, I haven't tried it so I can't really say much.

Alcohol 120% is good for bunring images and copying cd's not to mention its built in image mounting system. Nero is good for makeing standard ISO cds.
