Brake pad and rotor advise needed

Brake pad and rotor advise needed
Getting time to replace rotors and pads. Here is the package i came up with from (tirerack)
Cryo-Stop front rotors $80 per rotor
Centric Premium rear rotors 38$ per rotor
Akebono ProACT front and rear pads. $96 all 4 corners
I tend to brake late when driving and usually end up warping the rotors. I am really trying to put together a package that will help stop or prolong the rotor life. This daily driver and don't want to go aggressive. I was also looking into the power slot rotors ($326 for all 4 rotors). I like the benefits of the painted rotors.
Any advice would be helpful.

ROTORA slotted rotors and ROTORA H2 ceramic brake pads are a good choice for those who are daily drivers and want to have a longer life and better performance of their braking system. The pads are a low dust, low noise compound with good bite.

Please advise if I have been mislead,
It is my understanding that slotted rotors will decrease the life of the brake pads. If so then how much are they typically shorted compared to blank rotors.
The package i was hoping to put together would have been for a cryo treated plain rotor for both front and rear. From what I have read the cryo treated rotor are supposed to really help with resisting warping and longevity of the rotors.
In the end the ultimate goal is to put together a brake package the quiet, low on dust and will last even with some spirited driving.
On a side note the website right now is not showing any rotora stuff for Acura’s (pads or rotors) but they where there Friday.

Yes we've had some updates on the servers and product load updates so the ROTORA parts should be back up today.

Alright after a little research, I am torn between getting the RacingBrake Slotted with RB ET300 pads or the Rotora Slotted with the Rotora H2 pads.
There is price difference of ten dollars between the two set ups.
This could be an expensive mistake if the wrong set is bought and want to avoid that. I just really want a set of brakes that are quiet, low dust and I can beat on a little without warping them.
It is a daily driver that I will drive a little aggressive every now and then.
Any insight or recommendations on which set up to go with and why would really help.

I never trust a lifetime warranty man. To me all it means is "if you have a problem this stuff is so cheap we'll throw new ones at you."
The Rotora parts are good but we have have had so much success over the years with Racingbrake I can hardly see recommending anything else. They are the cornerstone items in our new HT-Spec brake packages.
