I've been using Verbatim all these years, but truth be told, I'm considering stopping.
Blank media is becoming harder and harder to come by, and prices have increased to 2-4x of what they were.
For now at least, I have enough media to fill out the next couple of years, 1 year per 100GB disc, and we'll see where we are by then. My prediction is that it won't be any easier to archive to optical media by then. If you need proof, just check your local DVD/Blu-Ray vendor for latest copies of movies/shows.
I know Sony and others are working on 1TB size discs, but they're all "enterprise archiving", so probably not within price range of consumers.
