Default Which Rotors to buy?

Hey all...
Looking to dress up behind my new Z06 motorsport chrome wheels...so want to put drilled/slotted rotors behind them. Not a performance driver, and not a Z06 (stock 2004 Vert)...
I like the Baer Decelerotors for looks (zinc plated)...but they're a little pricey ...wondered if there is anything else out there I should look at before I order a set?

Napa blanks...about $20each and they work great. If you race frequently, they aren't as painful to replace from time to time.
