Well, I have an HP dvd630e USB DVD burner that I'm quite happy with...
FWIW it's about twice what you're looking to spend, but I think it's
worth the extra money to get the DVD burner.  Huge amounts of data,
fast fast fast.  And it burns CDs too, if that's all you really want.

In theory, any drive should work fine, since they all pretty much just
implement SCSI over USB.  That's well supported in the Linux kernel.
But as with everything else, YMMV.
