Want a good set of rotors...any help??

I am doing the brakes soon,and want to change the rotors.I like the bling factor(drilled/slotted).
I was looking at the ones on MiniMania:
http://new.minimania.com/web/AddedFr.../InvDetail.cfm

and the ones on MossMini:
http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=36731

any input on these? I don't want to go crazy with the price right now,but I want a decent set of rotors.I'm waiting for a front AND REAR brake kit that I like and is reasonable.

Just realize that the bling factor rotors are mostly for appearance. They will work fine on the street or for car shows.
Slots
Crossdrilling
dimples
Various finishes

For basic performance use on the track or at autocross
Stock rotors or Brembo rotors are fine with or without slots
Cheapest option and effective.

Cryo treated Powerslot rotors are more expensive but the cryo treatment makes them wear out less which is good considering some aftermarket brake pads wear on rotors a bit more.
