Rotor suggestion

I am ready to change the rotor and pads on my 2008 TL Type S M/T. I bought the Akebono ASP1001 and ASP536 for the pads. Which rotor do you guys suggest I get with these new pads?

This is the third thread on akebonos in the last two weeks. Search and read those threads for the suggestions.

This is for daily driving. In this case, I am trying decide between the Brembo slotted rotors or the Stoptech slotted rotors for the Akebono pads. I searched but did not see much discussion about which rotor might be better. Maybe I missed something.

Stoptech slotted for me. The vendors here will give you a fair price.

Thank you. I understand the Stoptech also had the cyro treated rotors. Are these worth the additional $28 more for each rotor?

I'm firm on always putting on blanks. I tried drilled and slotted before and don't like the rust it forms in the separate slots. Blanks have a shiny polished look.
