          I honestly could barely remember that there were two, let alone which was better.

          I do remember the better one was pointlessly more expensive. For the same price, I could usually get twice as many CD-Rs when I needed more, although it might come down to whether I wanted them with cases or on a spindle.

      CD-RW was generally more of a gimmick than a useful format - especially once flash drives appeared and then doubled in size every several months.

      CD-R was king for burning audio CDs or general data (until DVD-R came along).
