Question Rotor and Pad Upgrade

I'm thinking about purchasing the slotted and drilled brake rotors with pads for a 93 F-150 4 WD. Are these worth the extra expense?

That's something I've been wondering about for about a year. There are 4 basic types, the slotted, drilled, drilled & slotted, and the diamond cut. I read a recent infomercial in OffRoad Adventures that drilling may weaken the rotor where as slotting doesn't. But the question I'm wondering is does it make enough difference for the money. See this link for a sampe of the TYPES
Not much help, but a good question!
