Default New Brakes

It's the time of year again, and I have to do a complete brake job on my 92 civic si. This time around I wanted to go with aftermarket rotors, since the current ones I have warped very quickly. From what I have read so far, BREMBO seems like a very reputable brand, but I was wondering if there any other brands I should consider. The main reason I was looking for a good set of aftermaket rotors is so that i don't have to change them as often, or deal with them warping within the first few months of use.

Does anyone know of any other brands I should take a look at?

if you don't buy the cheapest rotors they shouldn't warp that fast.. buying the $20 ones vs the $50 ones is that difference.

(I don't know actual prices, that was just an example)

I only skimped out on the rear rotors. The front were Honda OEM, and they are fine, but the rears were aftermarket OEM, and I can tell that those ones are really warped.
