Descriptions are pretty clear to me. "(Slot)" = Slotted.

there are two different ones for the front
Racing Brake -> these are two piece rotors, seperate hub and contact surface. It results in lower weight, better cooling and also cheaper replacements later down the road. Con is that its expensive.
Stoptech -> these are 1 piece rotors that will help braking and prevent warping with good cooling designs. This should be good for most people

Not to be contrary, but the StopTech are a direct OE replacement, not the AeroRotor with the improved vane design. The primary performance advantage comes from the slots.
Not saying they are not good - I'm getting a set soon - but that there are different levels of "good". The 2-peice is the top, then the OE Replacement.

SportStop one-piece direct replacement rotors fit stock calipers. Drilling or slotting helps wipe away the debris that forms between the pad and the disc, adds more bite, and can help the rear brakes to match the aesthetics of a front big brake kit. The rotor finish helps prevent glazing of the pads and improves wet and dry braking performance. Most StopTech rotors have a durable black coating on the non-swept areas of the rotor to prevent unsightly corrosion. Quality is assured as the rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed all OE specifications.
These direct replacement rotors are not StopTech AeroRotors. The internal vane structure is identical to stock rotors, but they are available slotted or drilled.

the average driver doesnt even need side slots= they allow a place for the pad outgassing to escape in severe heat conditions of use
Maybe at track day after your 3rd event they might come into play
The rest is bling, and I have slotted RB fronts with ET pads~
