Some older set top DVD players only take one kind, but most others, and all computers can read both.
Certainly not all stand alone DVD players accept all formats. It also doesn't matter if they're new or old!
The same with computers and DVD drives for computers. Certainly not all computers support all formats, and this is again nothing to do with new or old.
In other words, it is not a fixed fact that old dvd players support only format X or only format y, or new dvd players support format X and Y. It is as random as... ermmm.... a random letter
So, to recap:

You need the type that your laptop burner supports. This can be DVD-R
and/
or DVD+R.
If it is only one of the two, you have no choose than to use that format.
If it is both, than you might consider what type your standalone dvd player supports (if you have a standalone one), or what type the dvd player in your desktop computer supports, or what type the dvd player from your friends support or something like that...
