Shot rotors
#4
Drilled rotors 'look' cool but do not provide any additional benefit. Consensus on them is that they WILL fail due to heat. Leaving you with a bad taste in your mouth when they're done with you.
OEM rotors are great when paired with a good pad. Just don't goto vatozone and pick up china made rotors, the metallurgy mix could be lacking and won't be near the quality of a better find.
Slotted are great for performance applications. With each rotation giving you a continual clean pad surface.
Pads vary from one another on different applications. Street vs track oriented etc.
Good stainless steel brake lines will improve pedal feel.
And here is another img to show that I dont know what I'm talking about

OP- you invested too much time into researching this and posted way too many details in the original post. Please stop being so detail oriented, dilligent, and asking such important and never before asked questions.
You're making the other people look bad.

In my experience, the cheapest rotors they sell are cheaper than the cheapest rotors sold nearly anywhere else, and they work just fine.
I was thinking about Grace Park.
Nothing came of it.
