I will add Memorex to that list.

Anything Memorex I have bought in past 5 yrs (cassette, CD, floppy, mini disc) have had bad bad quality problems.

I even broken a few with handling that everything else easily survived.  There are plenty of good brands, but I figured I should specifically mention one to avoid.
