I cannot answer that definitively. After spending a lot of time searching for DVDs that are best for archival, I decided to go with these:
DVD-R 4.7GB 8X UltraLife Gold Archival Grade with Branded Surface and Hard Coat - 5pk Jewel Case
Product Number: 96320
They also come in 50 &100pack spindles.
I recently asked a similar question - see this thread:

Part of one of the responses:
"Choices today are very simple. Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim AZO (never heard about the Ultra series), both made my CMC Magnetics in Taiwan. That's it! Both companies sold all their DVD manufacturing rights and technology, some say TY sold them their machines also, to CMC."
