SATA interface...
Google returns a mind-boggling array of comparisons and I'm
getting lost in the noise.
So far, I see 3 general niches:
Commodity Low-End: Like whatever pops up on the selves at
MicroAge
Name-Brand Low-End: Like Samsung's SH-S223F at about $30
High-End: Like Plextor's PX-715A that also does double-layer at
$100+
Seems to me like I'm a low-end customer, but I haven't seen
anything yet in mid-range (more than $30, less than, say, $90).
Is there anything there?
Or should I just buy the first name-brand drive I come across at
less than $40.

They also seem to be the most tolerant of off-spec media.
You could also go for Lite-On (under their own brand) who also manufacture
the drives branded as Sony, HP, Plextor, and many no-names. They tend to
die early, but for the price it may by no great loss.
