When I replace rotors on any car I have, I always put the "Power-Slot" slotted rotors on. The last set lasted 70,000 miles on my Explorer with no warping or any problems. The reason I had to replace them was because they were starting to chip at the edges of the slots. But, at 70,000 miles, I can't complain about them. Most others would have been turned so many times by then they would need replaced. Oh, and there is a difference in braking. Just make sure you get decent pads to go along with them.

RE: New Rotors
The rotors I'm getting are only $200 for all 4, plus a lifetime warranty I believe
This includes any option--slotted/drilled/both/dimpled, and any color--all zinc plated

Actually, I have only seen one company that offers colored rotors, and the display model was pink. They sales rep said they sell the crap out of them. Don't know who makes them, but I could not believe my eyes.

RE: New Rotors
I'll let my rotors do the talking 
I'm happy I went with slotted and drilled for the looks. Be sure to get them zinc plated though, mine were not, they look like two-piece rotors as it is now. (First picture was the same day I had the swap to the Cobra brakes done, first time taking them out for a drive. Got to where I was going and just had to take a picture. You can see the rust line forming in the second picture, that was about after three weeks, with no time in the rain)
