Actually the extra-careful use water-based pens, because that's less
likely to harm the lacquer coating on top of the reflective layer.
I've always used Sharpies and have never had a problem. The
industrial sharpies fade less on the spines exposed to the light. I
have a shelf full of videotapes with almost blank labels after ten or
fifteen years under a skylight (standard sharpie).
I've only ruined a disc once by writing on it, that was by writing
with a hard mechanical pencil.

I've used Neato's for years with no problems or complaints from
clients. After applying I burnish them down very thoroughly with my
fingertips. I'd be willing to pay more for archival labels.
