I trust both RCA and Pioneer brands. My first was a GE and I still have that one too. I bought it in about 1998 and it still works well.
As for blue ray disc here is an overview.
Overview
The name Blu-ray Disc is derived from the blue-violet laser used to read and write this type of disc. Because of this shorter wavelength (405 nm), substantially more data can be stored on a Blu-ray Disc than on the DVD format, which uses a red, 650 nm laser. Blu-ray Disc can store 25 GB on each layer, as opposed to a DVD's 4.7 GB. Several manufacturers have released single layer and dual layer (50 GB) recordable BDs and rewritable discs.[1]
Blu-ray Disc is similar to PDD, another optical disc format developed by Sony (which has been available since 2004) but offering higher data transfer speeds. PDD was not intended for home video use and was aimed at business data archiving and backup.
Blu-ray Disc is currently in a format war with rival format HD DVD.
Technical Specifications
About 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video can be stored on a 50 GB disc.
About 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video can be stored on a 50 GB disc.
