It depends on what you want. Will you autocross or drag? Just light miles? Worried about appearance?
I have aftermarket replacements and no complaints but i just put a few mi a year. You can upgrade to the GS brakes from GM.
You could just go with a quality slotted rotor from like eradispeed, Baer, Wilwood.
I would avoid the drilled rotors they are prone to cracking.
Unless your doing calipers, ceramic pads, steel hoses, etc. I would go back to stock rotors. Vettes stop pretty well stock so put the money in the go dept.
