Hey Daryl Welcome to the forum buddy.
Well since u have already Kicked Samsung Option outta the Way (For very Obvious Tray Reasons i assume )
lets see the other 2 options:
Go for Either Sony CD-RW Or A Liteon One Must be Costing around 1.3k to 1.4k.
i Have heard that Asus and Pioneer Drives too are good but not sure on each of thier prices

And in case of a CD writer:
Sony/lite-on
pioneer

Dont go for Samsung --> tray problems
LG --> CD reading problems

But remember Samsung drives read scratched CD's more efficiently then any other optical drive brand....
