In my opinion, compressed air is better because it's less invasive. Brush-type cleaners work by actually contacting the lens surface, and I think that results in a greater potential for either scratching the lens or bumping it out of alignment. But that's just my opinion -- I have no empirical evidence to back that up.

Yup, that's another thing to try. But if your drive is making weird noises right after a disc is inserted, the laser's probably at fault.
