In my limited DAT field use, I have used ONLY DDS tapes with no problems.
The Oade brothers I think used to say that the data-grade tapes were
quality checked to a *higher* standard than the audio ones.

The one warning I remember was to stick to the shorter tape lengths, as
the longer ones could be thinner and hence less robust tape...
