New Rotors

New Rotors
I plan on ordering a set of new rotors soon...
Should I go with:
1. Drilled
2. Slotted
3. Drilled/Slotted
4. Slotted/Dimpled
I know drilled can crack and slotted wear the brakes down quicker, but which of those 4 options would you go with if it was a daily driver which will see the track only a few times a year
Also, should I go with Zinc coated (black)...because my car is Torch Red with the black Mach decals. Not sure how it will look though when the brakes are used and the black coating gets rubbed off from where the caliper grips the actual rotor...

RE: New Rotors
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.
