Whenever I find NOS 3M diskettes, I always snap them up. Managed to get three boxes last year and of the ten disks in the box I opened, all worked.
In order of reliability from personal experience:
3M
IBM
BASF
Sony
Verbatim
Maxell
Memorex
Nashua
Fujifilm
Generic
Office Depot
(note these are for 3.5" floppies; the order doesn't change much for 5.25" but place Elephant Memory Systems between IBM and BASF)
