Some manufacturers, e.g. LSL and cheap*bytes, produce regular (silver) CDs
in large quantities. They are often cheap.

Others, e.g. I-connect, produce (gold) CD-recordables on demand. They are 
often more expensive, but offer more specialised products (such as the
"unstable" distribution).

Other differences in price can come from
- whether or not a manufacturer contributes financially to Debian's
  development.
- additional software or support.
