Well I guess that all depends on how much money you want to spend.
If you plan to burn the same CDs/DVDs more than once, it would be useful to have the image file stored on the drive - CDs are usually 1GB, and DVDs are anywhere from around 3GB-15GB (see here). So if you intend to burn lots of different discs lots of times, bigger is definitely better.
What sort of computer primarily burns CDs and DVDs? Are you running a pirating ring or what?
If money is no object, then you could get a 2TB drive! You could store lots of images there!
