Default Cyro Slotted Rotors

I have a 73SB(ZZ4) w/5 speed, rack and pinion, coil over front that I mostly drive around town, but have the opportunity to do "parade laps" at Road America 2X per year. The definition of "paraded laps" is "no passing in the corners". Needless to say it is WOT. I run moderate Hawke pads, but it is time for new rotors and not sure about the hpye ($$$$) of cryo slotted rotors versus Duntov stock slotted rotors? Also wondering about the zinc coated units - is that for looks or stopping efficency? Any recco's?

don't bother with cryo. it's ALL hype. not going to write a novel here, but i have a pile of data from independant lab testing (commercial) and academia (university). i ran testing for the army when cryo hype hit the low point about 4 years ago and they tried to sell the HMMWV program manager..
bottom line, wouldn't even put cryo in the car if it was cheaper than non-cryo..
