Default new rotors?

since my brakes are starting to squeek, i figure i might as well upgrade to better rotors along with some nice brake pads. i'm looking into proformance rotors such as brembo and powerslot. i was just wondering what the good people of HT are running. should i stick with the blanks or the slotted and cross-drilled/x-drilled?

Blanks, all cross drilled/slotted do is tear up pads. The slotted are there to relieve gas buildup from braking, but in a street application it'll just be a waste of money as you'll tear up pads more often.

Daily driving I'd go with OEM. They don't eat rotors up and aern't very dusty.

I also rock Brembo blank rotors, but I use Axxis pads. They squeak and they make dust, but they grip nicely too. Pick your poison.
