I'll give a reason for using specific tapes, litigation discovery.  Our email 
backups need to go to specific tapes so that the tapes are reused within 24 
hours of the image(s) expiring.  If you used scratch tapes, when the image 
expires the data is still on the tape, it can be re-imported and recovered.  We 
have many dozen scratch tapes, so the email backups could exist for weeks after 
the images expire.
