What are you trying to accomplish?

Slotted can be useful for the track, but will wear pads faster and does nothing for you in normal use.

Drilled is pretty on a show car, but serves no useful purpose whatsoever and just makes rotors more prone to crack and removes mass that could otherwise sink heat.

Blank rotors are ideal for normal street use.

I just got drilled powerstop rotors and hawk pads from a vendor here. pretty sick and direct replacement. Powerstop is made by stoptech.

Check out the "endless" kit in our vendor section, their rotor looks really good

Honestly, it won't make much difference other than price for any major brand... just get OEM replacement blanks... Brembo, Stoptech, Centric, are all popular brand names... if I recall centric blank OEM replacement rotors are like 60-ish bucks each from rock auto.
