It depends on what you wish to burn. If you want to burn ISO files then image burn is what you want.

I use Nero 7 Ultra for almost all of my regular recordings for data and music. It is really just a personal preference when it comes to that sort of software. Once you pick one and use it then you get used to it and it just feels better but is not actually better then the other. The question is pretty broad so I can't be exact on the answer. I will say that when it comes to burning I am very familiar with the formats and what works.

burning songs, iso and other. is imageburn is best?

Image burn is the best for ripping ISO files to a Blue ray or compressed to a 4.7 dvd. As for songs and copies I like Nero, but that is just me.

I always get a bad feeling about software that requires the download of a separate removal tool to get its debris out of my registry. Also at least in version 6.x there was an annoying attribute that if I brought Nero up before the optical drive was done initializing an inserted blank disc, if it didn't like the disc, often I had to reinstall. Then the problems with InCD were no fun either. In the end, the only feature I really liked was creating SVCDs with menus. But I don't get into creating SVCD discs anymore.

On a lot of these softwares I think it's more an issue if your hardware likes the software or vice versa. If it does you love it, if it don't you don't. I get into similar discussions concerning disaster recovery imaging software. Someone likes a software that I say won't work with my system, because they don't have my system. They can't understand why I don't like it. If it works well, I like it fine. If it doesn't I don't like it at all.

Same with cars. The car can have a high lemon percentage, but if you get a good one, then it's a great model car. It's all about how it works for you.. not how it works for somebody else.
