I'm using a plextor px-412c here, and it's worked like a dream. Plextor
drives in general are of high quality (esp when it comes to audio
extraction). I haven't used the other drives, but you can't go wrong with
the plextor. Btw, plextor will be coming out with an 8x writer pretty
soon, so you may wish to wait for it to come out and either (1) buy the 8x
writer or (2) buy the 4x at a lower price.

Yes, though I'm not sure how stable the 2940uw's driver is at this point.

I prefer external drives most of the time, as they can be moved to other
boxes very easily (also means the inside of your box stays cooler, which
is a problem on my computer). Of course, external also costs around
$100...
