IMO Dimpled and drilled are basically the same but the dimpled since they are not drilled thru will be stronger and not as subject to heat and stress cracking.

Neither have any use at all other than BLING and guys that track their cars know better than to use either. For the street there is no real difference in longevity.

Exactly.
Want to see if they give better performance? Go to ALMS and see how many race cars have cross-drilled rotors.

If cross drilled rotors are useless on the street, why do General Motors, Porsche, and others offer them on some of their cars?
Yep it's true they do put them on the C6, But did you also notice they enlarged the rotor dia. by 1" and it's on a lighter car?
Cross drilled or dimpled rotors are for bling only and have no purpose on a real high performance car!
