On the slotted/drilled, I have had mine for 2 years, no issues, aggressive driving, pads still looks in excellent shape, hardly any dust as well. Pad choice has a lot to do with dust. They are for looks only!
But side note, they will crack if using on a road course!, fronts did, was my laziness that did not want to swap stock rotors back on. They covered them under warranty at least

Sorry, didnt see your post until I finally hit the send button on mine, lol.

I did not even know mine were cracked until I went to wash the car a day or 2 later. So no real horror.
But my LR wheel had a few lug nuts come loose a few days after the event. Strange, I would have thought it would have happened sooner, not 2 days after a track event. No horror there either, I heard some noise, stopped and inspected right away, and re-torqued all on the spot.

By the time you hear noise, they're pretty loose. They probably started coming loose on the track day.

When I'm at the track, I retorque my lug nuts each session. Most of the time they're at spec, but every once in a while I find one coming loose.

I had rotor pros on my 99 Trans Am, they started forming small cracks around the drilled holes about 2 years later.

I will take good close look at mine next time as it's been about 2 years, lol.
