I'm thinking of getting a DVD writer, mostly because I can backup
lots more
data on one disc. But I'm curious, is there any information on
which medium
is more reliable for long-term storage?

I don't know, and I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that
nobody else does either.

You might consider DVD-RAM; it has a much better error handling.
