Once you go with a brand tape stick with it though as changing them around can be hard on the recording heads. I use the Sony MiniDV tapes, but started off using the HDV tapes till I realized it was a waste of money. We go through 5 to 6 tapes a week, so at even 10.00 each that ads up quick enough.

I also stick with Sony tapes these days. I've tried a few brands and as you mentioned, that can be hard on the heads.
These days I buy my tapes in bulk. 100 at a time. I get them for $2.65 each including S&H. If you have a better price, please let me know.
