They look nice... I wouldnt get ones that are actually drilled, more often then not they will crack.
they say slotted helps cool them off and clean the pads.
If you can get slotted and dimpled for slightly more i would do it but dont break the bank for them.
you also want to look at coating, are you worried about them getting rusted?

I would only do it if you go to a plus size rotor with a caliper relocation bracket. Should give you a little better stopping. If you're going with stock size I'd just go with OEM...they last forever. 163,000 miles on my truck and I'm still on the original rotors and only my second set of pads.

There's a guy over on GMFS who makes them. The problem that I've heard with the Vette brakes is that they use 6 individual brake pads that are very expensive and don't last long in a Vette, much less in a truck that weighs almost twice as much.
