Answer 1

DVD-R or DVD+R. You are making recovery discs, which only need to be written to once; a DVD-RW or DVD+RW can be overwritten later (which you do not need). The speed does not matter much; if you get DVDs with a faster read/write speed, the recovery discs will be written to faster (but in order to actually use a high writing speed, your hardware and the burning application need to support it).

Answer 2

You need a DVD which you can Read/Write to in blocks.

The DVD-RW will be best option
