I'm looking for reliable 50GB BD-Rs at a reasonable price. So far, Verbatim VBR260RP50SV1 discs look like potentially the best option, as a spindle of 50 is available for about $63 (shipped from Japan).

However, I reading the Amazon reviews, I saw some possible reason for concern. Some of the more recent reviews claim that the discs are not reliable anymore and have a high failure rate, and sometimes can even form bubbles/blisters during the burning process.

Are these discs still reliable (other than perhaps a bad batch here and there), or have they gone too far downhill to be reliable.

This is the Amazon page in question:
