LightScribe CDs and Writers

[verynewbie]

Can anyone tell us his/her experience on using LightScribe enabled CDs ?
I need to know the following:

(a) Are the HP LightScribe CDs good enough (quality-wise) for CDGs.

(b) Can I burn a CDG using a MTU-supported Plextor Drive, and use another LightScribe-enabled Drive (such as HP DVD740 i or HP DVD740 e) to burn on the label side of the CD, and still maintain the quality of the CDG.

(c) Can I really use the 2-step process, ie. first burn the CDG on CD (use a MTU-supported Plextor Drive, and then use another LightScribe-enable writer (DVD-writer, such as HP DVD740 i or e) to burn the label. (I do fully recognize that I need to use LightScribe-enabled blank CDs for all of the above as a prerequisite).

(d) Any suggestion of a better (quality, speed, etc) LightScribe-enabled DVD burner?

Thanks.
