Just got my dvx-100b last week and so far i've shot about one and a half tapes on it. Before my dvx, I'd shot with a vx-2100 for about two years and was always taught that wet tapes like Sony premiums were the best choice. However, I keep reading up on how wet lube tapes aren't good for dvx's and how it can cause drops. I have two AMQ's (which I hear are great tapes), but I'm worried about switching tape brands so suddenly and its effect on my camera. What do you recommend I do?

I use Sony's with my 100a with no problems. I would stick with what's working. If you really feel the need to switch I would run a head cleaner through the camera for 5-10 seconds or whatever the instructions say.
Just pick one brand and stick with it. For everyone that loves Panasonic tapes, there is someone who hates them. Same with Sony and every other brand of tape.

I hate Sony and Panasonic tapes and make my own from old beta tapes I find at garage sells
