Media quality hasn't really been a thing since DVD-R arrived. RW has significant issues, but plain R is extremely durable when stored well. I've actually never seen an unreadable BD-R, the coatings seem to do an excellent job despite being hauled around. I can't say anything about burnability, since I've never had a bad burn that wasn't due to underflow. I'd be very curious who had issues with BD-Rs that were burned correctly and stored well.

You cannot backup a Bluray without UDF, and you shouldn't backup any DVD that's UDF in anything else. Better to create a 1:1 backup than try to translate it to a format that can still be read by Windows 2000. Just don't tweak any options, don't mess with anything, and ImgBurn will create a good mountable copy.
