Best media to use

My company is looking to upgrade our backup equipment in the near future. Right now, we have 4 40/80 DLT tape drives backing up approximately 25 servers with a combined total of about 200 Gb of data begin backed up. This will probably triple in the near future so we are looking to use this oppertunity to upgrade our equipment.
What would you suggest as the best media to do this on? We don't want to do it to disk because the tapes have to be stored off site and that could create problems with disks. I am not sure what is out there but I though t maybe some of you could tell me what is both financially sound, efficient, and something that Backup Exec has no problems with.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I would suggest using LTO technology. In my experience it is more reliable & has better performance than DLT or SDLT.

The latest LTO technologies are:

LTO2 & LTO3

Just google it - there is heaps of infor out there.
