Which external DVD burner is best?

OK, so I've come to realize that all of my digital photos are on my laptop. I keep having a recurring nightmare that my hard drive is going to crash or my laptop goes missing.
At first I thought an external hard-drive might be the answer but I am looking for a non corruptible medium to preserve my photos for the next 50 years (or so). A very helpful guy at Best Buy suggested the Sony DVD burner and Verbatim DVD discs that hold 4.7 Gigs each I tend to agree with him as there is no guarantee a second hard drive won't crash.
I'm not technical so I'm looking for all you geeks (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) to give me your suggestions.
Is there a third alternative? Or fourth?
Free pocket protector for the best answer!
Thanks

Whatever drive or format you choose, remember to use the best qualify media you can afford, since not all discs are created equal. Cheap CD-R or DVD-R, etc. are susceptible to damage from all sorts of sources.

The guy said Verbatim makes the best DVD discs. Any comments?
