I noticed that PC World magazine had the 40x12x48 Lite-On CD-RW listed in their top 10 (#4). This was in the July issue, but I have seen Lite-On in there quite regularly. I just found the August issue and it droped to #6. If you like the drive and you are comfortable with the price, etc., I believe that anything in the top 10 would be a good value/machine.
