Nero. I was able to do all the stuff I needed to do with it on my first try at using the software. No explanations needed.
I use the built-in burner when burning converted avi files to dvd (using ConvertXtoDVD) but that's just 'cause it's there so might as well use it.
....I have a friend who likes using Roxio, though.

I use Nero. Used to use Adaptec before it become Roxio, mostly because their packet writing software was far superior to Nero's InCD.
The main thing I don't like about Nero is that the compilation files created with the disk and saved in a user database are not readily accessible. Nero has no software (that I know of) for really accessing a user database - say you are trying to find which disk a file is on. Not a big deal for me. I use a utility to catalogue cd/dvd info from the disk into text files and wrote a macro to transfer into a MS Access database where I can search for particular files. I have about 4 million files so having full database capability is important.
Also hate the fact you can't set default column widths and have to adjust every use. So trivial but so annoying!
Many multimedia applications have the capability of burning cds/dvds when the music or video compilation is complete. They are fine but if you want all the disk info in one place, something like Nero is it.

Don't you mean DeepBurner? http://www.deepburner.com/?r=products The problem there though is the lack of features.

Roxio is great for data dvds while being a nuisance at times waiting for it to configure itself. In fact don't run Spyware Blaster on the same system as Roxio is on. That spy remover starts the Roxio installer on it's own. Figure that one out. That along with Spy Spotter just found the recycle bin. But I'll keep Roxio for those iso images that climb into the gigabytes at times.
