I only have had one personal bad experience with 3-1/2 inch diskettes.
Somebody mailed me some P/D stuff on a brownish-red Dysan disk.
Before I could put it in the drive the two halves of the plastic
housing fell apart.  I was very glad that it fell apart before I
stuck it in the drive.

Recently we bought some ostensibly DS disks at work in bulk.  What we
received were not stamped "double sided" on the diskettes.  We did
experience some failures, so we returned the batch.  The suspect
disks were beige, and the big box they arrived in was marked "Fuji".
