My college used Fuji tape which was signed out to students, which means they had been recorded over several dozen times or more. No dropouts or issues of any kind. After I left college I continued to use them based on that experience and I've never had any problems except for one getting eaten by a deck, and that was because the deck broke.
I don't know the differences between tape brands or any comparisons, just that they proved themselves to me and continue to do so.
