Maxell can be mediocre if made anywhere but Japan (next time you buy Maxell, do take a look where they're made on the packaging).

Sony can be made in a number of places: Malaysia, Austria, Taiwan, and yes Japan, but the Japanese Sonys are becoming harder to find (here in the UK, we don't get MIJ Sony at all).

For best results, as mentioned above, order Taiyo Yuden media online, or buy Verbatim from any regular store that sells media. These discs you should be able to burn at or near their rated speeds with no problems (I prefer 8x as a rule though).
