CD Burning

We are about to buy two LaCie CDRW drives for our Caliburs.  We will use
this as an archive system but will, from time to time, revisit these files
and may want to move them to another platform.  We have been told of
"hybrid" CDs which print both Mac and PC formatted, duplicate data on a CD
as well as ISO9660 formats which can be read on both Mac and PC platforms.
This brings a question to my mind regarding the FSCII file formats which all
our list mode files should be saved.  I have always understood that the
reason for having the FCS file format was to facilitate cross platform
sharing of files.  Often, higher versions of some software is needed to burn
hybrid or ISO9660 disks.  Toast is an example.  One needs Toast Pro to do
this.

So, I guess my question is: what format does most people use when they burn
their CDs?
