Default Somewhat minor brake issue

I have a minor brake problem
I own a 99 GS4 as you can see by the signature with a Supra TT brake upgrade
The problem is that the car came with the upgrade already installed but the brakes have always squeaked when coming to a stop.

I have even installed factory TT Supra pads & now they squeak worse & make tons more dust.

First question are Power Slot rotors worth even having
Only reason i was going back with new Power Slot rotors
because the rear has brand new Power Slot Rotors

First is slotted good to have or should i go slotted & drilled or just drilled
And is there a good quiet performance oriented brake pad that won't turn my wheels black after a day of driving?

Any assistance would help

Also if you could list a good source to get the parts from also

The reason why your pads are making more noise is probably because they haven't been broken in and also because it's probably a semi-metallic pad. More metal in the pad to cause the noise against the rotor. Slotted rotors will wear pads faster thus causing more dust. Slotted rotors are unnecessary for daily driving.
