Default Best Rotors?

Hey guys, wanna tap your collective brains for a sec... in your expert opinions what are the best rotors out there? One of the main factors that I'm concerned about is anti-corrosion, next to quality and looks. any input as always would be appreciated..

I recommend SEARCH.
Most OEM size aftermarket rotors are fine. Brembo makes some, Powerslot/stop and there is a vendor in the marketplace forum offering a great group buy.

They all have to meet minimum requirements all are good.

anti-corrosion=zinc plated
Just look for that when buying your rotors. Which by the way it is something OEM rotors don't have.

Quality
Just go with a brand that has a good reputation

Looks
They are all round and made out of metal, but you can have them decorated with slots and holes

Not to be unnecessarily negative or anything....but why? You can get brembo sport drilled rotors, widely regarded as the standard for performance oem replacement rotors, for around the same price, maybe even cheaper. The price on those, seeing as they are sold individualy, seems quite high for a rotor made by a company that isnt nearly as widely known as brembo. Take a look at these:
http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A2869A0A0.aspx

Since they are sold in pairs, they are about the same price. Only $332 for the front set and $310 for the rear set. Why not go with the standard for performance? Plus, atleast IMO, they look much better. That bright yellow gold finish on those DBA rotors seems a little over the top, but hey, thats just my opinion.

Edit: Also, i forgot to add, the brembo rotors are zinc coated to prevent corrosion, something you said you were specificaly looking for.
