- and + are the same as far as compatibility goes.

Not even close to the same.

Realize, some players will not play +R at all, most play -r.

Let me give examples:

GM's installed DVD player for it's SUV series will -not- play +R media, but it will play +RW (sometimes). But will play BeAll (-) media consistently.

If you have an XBox, you can play (-) most of the time, but (+) is a problem. Sony's upcoming PSX will not play (+) media at all, only (-)

This isn't to say one format is exclusively better then the other, that's not true.. I keep three DVD burners at the moment now (Pioneer A05, A06 & Optorite +- burner) and dependant on who in my family I'm sending a disc to, I know what their player supports well and doesn't.
