From the various charts, it seems there is less bad DVD+R media then DVD-R - possibly a reflection of the lower popularity, or that it was second to the table.
Some cheaper drives tended to be +R, and while the makers moved to +/-, the newer models tend to be rather fussy eaters when it comes to DVD-r media.
The +R camp have been first to push the speeds ... 8x +R, 4x -R - only now are the 8x both drives making significant progress.
If you have a dual drive, and it's happy with reasonably priced media (that happens to be -R), why pay more for +R ?

There is a price span in both - and if Ritek orange (-R) and Ritek purple (+R) are directly comparable, then +R could be said to be dearer
