What year is your Vette? If you could, fill out some info in your profile, so we can help you better.
With that said, I have had great success with NAPA OEM rotors and Hawk HPC pads. I have a 1992 with big brakes.
Power slot or any kinda drilled rotor is simply a look thing, and do little to improve performance. I have used EPC pads, and they are pretty good, but they wear quicker than most and are very dusty.

I had EBC redstuff pads on my previous car and they glazed over and dusted quite a bit. I didn't have glazing problems with any other pads on that car either(some more, and some less aggressive.) Porterfield makes a good performance street pad called the R4S that's a carbon-kevlar base. They dust very little, don't eat rotors, and are totally quiet. They're also reasonably priced.
I can't say anything bad about the EBC rotors as I've never owned them, but I've heard good things about Powerslot rotors.
Hope this helps.

Rotor and pads combinations are a trade off. Softer pads tend to dust alot but have great stopping power, i.e. Hawk HPS. On the other hand, pads like AutoZone PFC's Z rated, don't dust much, don't ware much, but you give up stopping power. Choose your poison.
