I always burn on-the-fly.  I use a Yamaha 4416sxz burner and a Teac
532s reader.  The Teac has a utility to set the spindown rate from
250ms to over an hour (you can also set it's max speed).  I have mine
set to 1 minute and never have a problem on a 133MHZ Pentium clone
with 64meg of RAM.  The most important peice of the puzzle is how fast
the reader can do DAE.  If it can extract twice as fast as you are
burning, then you won't experience buffer underruns.  The Teac, once I
tweaked the teac5324.ini file and used the expansion utility to set
max speed and adjust the spindown rate, extracts digital audio from
14x (start) to over 27x (end), well over the 8x I need it to burn at
4x on my Yamaha.

I did this before I got the Teac because I had an old NEC reader which
didn't do DAE well at all.  This is definately the safe way to go.
