Default Rotors/Pads Suggestion

I am looking for suggestions for a new set of rotors and pads - '99 FRC. I plan on four open track days and spirited daily driving. I often drive long stretches of open two-lane with few cars. I already have stainless lines and will be totally rebuilding the calipers. I have EBC slotted rotors and yellow pads on my other car - which I am happy with! Having said that - I wouldn't mind even more stopping power without going overboard. As I said - all thoughts and suggestions appreciated - thank you in advance!

I haven't used them on the track, but the Stoptech street performance pads work well. I've beat the hell out of my car on the Tail of the Dragon and other roads in the mountains, done a couple autox events and they don't fade on the street period. They're fairly dusty but they are quiet and totally fine for day to day use. I just put on Napa generic rotors with them.
