Need help. SS front rotors

So I'm gonna need new front rotors. I need your help guys and gals. What rotors work well? I'm looking for something that last longer and better stopping potential. Should I go for slotted or cross drilled and slotted?

Cool thanks that's a big help but what's the difference between dimpled and slotted and cross drilled and slotted? the pictures look the same for both.

drilled - holes right through to the other side
dimpled - just the tip of the drill makes a "dent" in the surface
some drilled rotors have been known to crack, while im sure most are fine. Street cars dont benefit from drilled rotors IMO, race cars need the extra cooling.

So dimpled would be ok for a street car? Or should i just do plain slotted

I should be installing my slotted rotors in a couple weeks. Im hoping the increased scrub helps resist the common brake pulsation issue caused by pad material sticking to the rotors.
