"Actually I would only use BD media from Fuji and Sony..."

The Sony BWU-100a (the drive that cost me $US 330 btw) is a rebadged Panasonic (I'm sure most know this), so in theory the Pana discs would work best. Memorex BD actually have Matsushita codes, but even if they didn't...going with any MIJ is probably safe. Although I am curious about the Phillips, which come UDF 2.50 formatted. Those are Made in Netherlands.

With the BWU in mind, my preference order is: Pana, Fuji, Sony, then maybe Verbatim.
