Best Blu-Ray Burner

So I have an external hard drive where I store everything, but I've had issues with externals before. I'm hoping Blu-Ray can be my second back up method. I work with HD video so the measly 4.7 gig or even 8 gig you get on DVDs just won't cut it. 25 and 50 gig backing up is very appealing and I could back a great deal of my material, I probably have 2 TB of raw video right now and will have much more in the near future. This includes old projects that I'd like to preserve, Much of the raw footage is on DV and HDV tapes, which are not designed to last. I already see the degrading.

Anyway, there are only a few BD burners out there for Apple computers, so my questions are:

1. Will my PowerMac G5 1.8 ghz dual processor be able to handle this hardware? (I have CS3 master collection and other BD burning software)

2. What's best known BD burner out there? As far as I know, for Apple, they are all 3rd party manufacturers and not Sony.

Thanks!

Looks like my mac can handle this one and it's a good brand:

Panasonic SW-5583 Blu-ray(Single/Dual La... (SW-5583-BK MP) at OWC

any better prices out there?

Have you checked Pioneer? Videoguys Pioneer BDR-202 Blu-ray Disc burner $399.95! (that price is wrong). The BDR-202 is coming down in price, but a lot of suppliers are out of stock. This suggests runout mode, a new model on the way perhaps. Apple wanted Sony BRD's, but they're expensive.
