cdrecord is generally well-regarded in terms of the number of different 
drives etc. it supports, but I've always found (on Linux) that it needs 
a bit of nursing when scanning and selecting available devices. Also 
there are issues with e.g. Debian forking the project and applying 
patches which weren't approved by the original author.

Frankly, I think that I'd settle for building a .iso image, and rely on 
the user having his own software which is known to be compatible with 
his hardware.
