Your DVD drive (or burner) software should take care of the burn process for you, often selecting the best speed for the media inserted.
Your burner will handle both -R and +R media, which means it will "burn" pretty much anything you throw at it (except Duel Layer [DL]). Most drives that have DVD+-RW logo will burn CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW.
A good starting point is to check the internet. Often the manufacturer of your DVD burner will offer advice about best media to use in their drives. Additionally, you can ask the company you perchased the computer from for advice.
Finally, you can also purchase a small quantity of -R/+R media, varying makes/dyes, and see what works best for you (or your burner).
