I'm wanting to know what dat tapes people use and what length do you find work the best?  Looking to get some but don't know what to buy or look for

I use Maxell 60m Made-in-the-USA and an occasionaly 90m if I must.  I usually buy them from Cascade Media.

i personally use these:

Sony DDS 60P (60 meters = 2hrs)
Sony DDS 90P (90 meters = 3hrs)
Maxell DDS HS4-90s (90meters)
Sony PDP-95 DAT
Sony PDP-64 DAT

i know that some folks have problems with DDS tapes, but i've yet to have a single issue in using them.  90meter tapes should be no problem for most decks.

http://www.american-digital.com always has a good supply of the DDS tapes.

Forgot to note these are DDS tapes, HS-4/60s and /90s.  There's a link to CM's TS.com special pricing page in the Retail forum, and probably a Sonic Sense like in there, too.
