I've been using MO's for backup. I believe it is cheaper for the initial
hardware, and you can also write as many times as you want. Ie. it works
just like a (slow) hard disk. I've yet to try setting it up under Linux
however.

One advantage of CD's is you can send large data files to people, as
everyone has a CD-ROM player, while few people have MO players (especially
outside Japan).
