DVD-R, DVD-RW—The first standard, dating from1997
DVD+R, DVD+RW—Introduced by Hewlett-Packard in 2001—Get this one
DVD-RAM—An older, more limited standard
DVD-ROM—Plays DVDs; does not burn them. Do not buy this one.
R stands for recordable meaning these disks can be recorded/burned only once. RW stands for re-writable disks; they can be burned up to 1,000 times. RAM discs are also re-writable and supposedly can be burned up to 100,000 times (?).
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW: Many manufacturers make their burners to handle both + and -. This costs a little more, but will give you more flexibility.
Many burners can now handle dual-layer discs that can contain up to 9 gigabytes of data. Single-layer discs can hold up to 4.7 GB of data.
Are you planning to play DVDs through a television? If you buy a DVD burner that burns only one standard, check that your DVD player can handle that standard. Most newer players can handle anything, but older ones play either DVD-R or DVD+R, but not both. Check the DVD player’s instruction manual.

If you're going to play it back on your PC only it doesn't matter. If for use in home appliances as well the only way to go is DVD -R.

it doesnt really matter what u use dvd - or + as long as its not DVDRW's, since re-writeables have problems with some dvd units on playback.
