Default What rotor is good for everday driving and where to get them?

I've seen zimmerman rotors for sale in Shokan website... and the mintek brake pads. Should I get cross drilled & slotted? Is there really any difference in them (except that they would quickly eat up your pads)??? Should I get OEM Rotors? How abt brake pads? Mintek? Hawk? Or OEM?

slotted / drilled cannot be resurfaced right? And the plain ones can?

Are the rotors superior to zimmerman? They sure are more expensive...

Call Brian at ECS, IMO they have the best braking options out there for the S4
