First, although iso9660 might not be the "perfect" filesystem, it is not 
bad, works fine with Linux, and is quite efficient for a read-only file 
system, especially for a small number of large files.  I see no 
particular reason to change it for this sort of usage.

Secondly, bluray disks (eraseable or not) cost vastly more per GB than 
DVD-R, or even hard disks.  I can't think of any good reason to use them 
as a storage medium until they come down in price by a factor of 10 or so.

But of course, use them as you want - you are demonstrating the 
flexibility of Linux here, even if it is not a usage that makes sense to me.
