Best Recordable CD-R Media ???

It is really a function of your drive. Is it a Sony
cdrw or LiteOn or whatever .... Each of these has it's
own set of preferred media. Check some of the sites which
test these drives and see how they performed with different
media types.

Thanks! i will try the Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui products.

Another good online source for the Taiyo Yuden discs is Meritline.

OK, I give up. What is a "cake box"?

It's simply the bulk packaging, Don. It means that you'll get the specified quantity of CD's stacked in one single package (usually in the shape of a tube - smaller quantities looking like a cake - some Taiyo boxes I've got have been square). Just read it as bulk packaging rather than individually packaged (as in jewel cases).
