Default Coleman 2 pc vs Floating Rotors

Looking for owners or experienced persons of C6Z06's running slicks or R compound rubber regarding the choice between a slightly more expensive full floating design vs a 2 piece. I know that Coleman offers both - am I really going to notice/experience a difference when using stock calipers with Toyo RA1's?

Lastly, do I want slotted or blank?

Interested in overall performance, longevity and the lack of knock-back.

Thoughts? Better more cost effective options?

I ran Coleman 2 piece fixed for a couple of years with no issues.

Slotted/heat treated - rotors lasted approx. 16 practice/race days.

Floating should give you greater life expectancy.

C.V. from AZ. had a set of 2 piece Coleman fixed that has lasted him almost a season (obviously relative as to how many days).

Driving style, course and pad used will also effect rotor life.
