Buy one of each and test them on your DVD player. Compatibility varies. If the player has been made in the last couple of years, it should play both -R and +R discs, but it's best to try before you invest a lot in the media.

'Same problem. 'Depends upon the player. The +RWs are pretty widely compatible. Modern players should work fine with the media. Try before you commit.
BTW: Most DVD players will play a slideshow from JPEG images burnt onto CD-R in ISO9660 format. Do you actually need to go with DVD media?
