Either should work, although I think cdrecord insists on ATAPI rather than
run-of-the-mill IDE (that's just a matter of buying a new enough drive, I
think).  A SCSI CD-R would let you keep the existing CD-ROM (personally,
I don't consider a CD verified until I've read it on a different drive),
and also means that you have your data source and your fussy data sink on
different I/O busses, which can only help.
