POWER SLOT rotor....????
Standard rotors are fine. You can pick up EBC Ultimax blank rotors (with a 6 month / 10,000 mile warranty) for around $23 each at Auto Parts Warehouse. Orders over $50 ship free, and their service and delivery times are excellent.
You're not going to see a whole lot of difference in performance between rotors. And this is much, MUCH more true of the rear rotors, since the rears don't do much braking on our cars at all.
For example, my ITR has over 8,000 actual track miles. Want to know how many sets of brake pads and brake rotors I've had to change?
16 sets of front brake pads
7 sets of front brake rotors
4 sets of rear brake pads
0 sets of rear brake rotors (yup, none!)
So check prices and get whatever reliable brand is least expensive. Don't forget to look into the stock rotors, which may not be too terribly expensive. I just looked up prices for each rear brake rotor for my area here in the States, and here's what I found (prices in US dollars):
Stock (part number 42510-ST7-R00) List $95.77, Delray Acura $71.83
Autozone Duralast (part number 31252) $56.99
The Tire Rack shows a variety of rotors and prices, for $37 and up, depending on which one you get. And as Padawan notes, the EBC rotors are $23 at the place he mentioned.
I would not bother spending more money for the Powerslot rotors than for the stock or Autozone rotors. I don't know anything about the EBC rotors or the cheapest ones at Tire Rack.
