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.

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.
