      There's just the size difference between SL and DL and that's pretty much to it.

      Since DL DVDs were a part of the original standard, old DVD Drives won't have a problem READING them.
      Infact no DVD Drive should have a problem reading DL DVDs.

      For burning games, well if the game is above 4.7GB in size, use DVD9 (DL DVD) or if not then just use DVD5(SL DVD).

      Qualities?
      Quality doesn't depend on the size of a DVD, rather than the brand/manufacturer of DVD discs....

      DL DVD is 8.5 GB in capacity actually. In short, it is dubbed as DVD 9.

      SL DVD is 4.7 GB in capacity. In short, it is dubbed as DVD 5.

      Entirely depends upon the size of the game. If a game does not fits in DVD 5, then DVD 9 would be logical choice.

      Their are softwares that allow DVD 9 based data to be split in to 2 x DVD 5 forms. Here is an example.

      But then DVD 9 is more convenient option IMO.
