Not sure why you're wanting to record VHS in 2021, but I digress. Still lots of VHS blanks on
eBay of varying quality, but tape stock quality really went downhill around the turn of the century. Ideally you don't want to use anything longer than T-130. In theory you could re-record store bought tapes and movies by covering the record tab slot with Scotch tape.
I think there's a thread or two on here about the quality of different VHS and S-VHS blanks, but from my experience TDK and JVC were solid choices for S-VHS. Avoid Maxell for S-VHS.
For baseband VHS: higher grade TDK, JVC and BASF were the best brands, but be aware of shedding oxide on BASF blanks since they got out of the blank media business in the early 90s, meaning the newest tapes are pushing 30 years old. TDK changed the names of their tapes over the years, but anything HS or higher are good (Vivid, EHG). JVC and TDK were the only brands still making good blanks until the bitter end of VHS. Maxell and Sony changed their tape stock around 2000 and got crappy.
Avoid Fuji at all costs. Sony tapes were rather dubious. Some were okay, some weren't. Back in the day I had good luck Scotch/3M, but looking back some tapes have excessive chroma, but that could have been the record VCR.
