I've used an Optiarc to burn all that in Linux, some with cdrecord some with NeroLinux. Optiarc is a joint NEC/Sony company. DVD drives/burners are commodity these days with standard interfaces.
not many support dvd-ram, however, which was buried in his list.
otherwise, I'd say any $34.95 LiteOn or LG drive could do all the rest of that without a hitch, SATA or PATA.
