Brutestops or Durastops?
I have decided to get some drilled and slotted rotors. My vette is an everyday driver and I never go to the track so I am not really worried about cracking. I can get both of these rotors for about $50 each from rockauto. Does anyone have any preferences or suggestions out of these two on which I should go with? Any info would be much appreciated, thank you.

I got the BruteStops. Make sure you break them in properly after install.
I also painted the rotor hats to prevent rusting.
If I had to do it over again, I'd look at Sport brakes (hopefully i got the name right).
They're zinc plated and won't rust.
Just my .02.
I do a little autocrossing, and after one event, no cracks. I'll be putting in about 40 runs next week - that will be a good test.

In terms of performance, i'm happy with the BruteStops.

D&Srotors & new pads
Do yourself a favor and read the break-in proceedure for new rotors (and pads) on the Baer brake website.
I'll be installing new GM D&S rotors soon but I'll break them in with the old pads for a couple of weeks.
I've got an '01 coupe for 3 1/2 years with only 15,700 miles so my pads are still pretty good. I still haven't decided on what kind of new pads yet though!!
