Personally, I've never had great luck with DVD-RW. Bad burns, discs that could only be read on the drive they were burned on, bad media, etc. At least with flash, once the files are copied, they're there and you can generally read them anywhere, at least until the media gives up the ghost.
Either way, make sure you have multiple backup copies and rotate them frequently. I don't know how many businesses I've seen with a single Zip Disk/flash drive/CD/whatever with their entire business on it. Terrifying.
