Either side will tell you that their format is more compatible. I work in a consumer electronics store. Philips is a supporter of the Plus format and they say that Plus is the most compatible. Pioneer is a supporter of the Minus format, they say Minus is more compatible. The dual format drives are cool, and your best bet all around.
If you don't want to go the dual format route, look at what your other DVD players or drives support and go that route.

How do you come to this conclusion? Both sides will tell you they are the most compatible. What do you mean by DVD+R being able to hold more data? Double layered discs, maybe? I have yet to see any, doesn't mean they aren't out there by any means, though. And I have no idea what you are talking about when you say that DVD+R is generally not made available to consumers.... You can go to any Best Buy, Staples, etc and pick up drives or media.
