Quick Summary: for the bored eyes: use plastic film sticky labels like Matte White Film DVD Lablels, #8962, or hub labels. These are fine. Avoid paper labels. If you use paper labels, avoid filling the entire disc. Off balance is not the real issue, stiffness is. You can also use a CD printer, Lightscribe, or markers. Tip: use different colored markers to categorize your discs (good/bad movie, drama/action, data/video, widescreen/fullframe). Signs of the label being a problem are, movie breaks up on at the end. Fix paper labels by just wetting the label and reading again. Envelope labels on one side will cause a balance problem. Some drive mechanisms can read warped discs better than others.
Labels of any type are fine with CDs and Video Cds.
