How can I tell if my drive would be OK with regular cdda2wav?

Easy. Run cdparanoia; if the progress meter never shows any characters
but the little arrow going across the screen, the CDROM drive is
probably one of the (currently) few drives that can read a pristine
stream of data off an audio disc regardless of circumstances. This drive
will work quite well with cdda2wav (or cdparanoia using the '-Z'
option).

A drive that results in a bargraph of all hyphens would *likely* work OK
with cdda2wav, but it's less certain.

Any other characters in the bargraph (colons, semicolons, pluses, Xs,
etc..) indicate that a fixups had to be performed at that point during
the read; that read would have failed or 'popped' using cdda2wav.
