Replacing Rotors

Hey Everyone.....I am planning on replacing my Brakes in the next 2 weeks. I will be using Akebono ceramics for the pads but am still up in the air about the rotors. I am leaning towards Power slot but I would like to hear from others about what type(brand) of rotors they are using and how they are holding up.

Just stick with factory or aftermarket factory replacements. When I worked at a tire and brake shop, we had four different customers come in with their own set of slotted or drilled rotors (all on different vehicles) and every one of them had a vibration when braking. I can't speak for the brands, but I never had a factory or aftermarket factory replacement come back for a vibration...
