Default Quick format for DVD-RAM

I recently installed a LG multi format DVD drive (a GSA-4120 retail). I
bought some Imation 4.7 GB single sided discs. When I format them one
of the options is quick format.

Is it a good idea to quick format these disks or should it be avoided?
About how much time does quick format save? Thank you in advance for
all replies.

I give my child a substance that he absolutely LOVES.
He sniffs it, snorts it, eats it and rolls around on
the floor in it. I wonder if this makes me a bad parent.

I believe it's that same sort of situation as when formatting a modern
hard disk - i.e. there should be little point in wasting time doing a
full format.
