The only way to go is the Pioneer 107 (or 108 for a dual layer burner).
It is recognised by OS X, and can be used with iLife.
The best way to do it would be to replace your CD-RW with the DVD burner. There is no need to keep your CD burner as the DVD burner can read/write cds and dvds. I think you might run into problems if you had them both.
I recently upgraded my b&w G3 to the Pioneer-107 burner. I simply pulled out the old CDROM drive, and put in the DVD Burner in exactly the same spot. I had absolutely NO problems.
