Get brembo blanks, have had very good luck with those. Get a big brake kit if you can afford it, rotora/ stop tech or brembo. Rotora kit retails for about 1300.

I had excellent results with dirt cheap AutoZone blanks.

I'd get the cheaper one, all rotors are pretty much the same. Although the slotted might give you some positive benefits in dissipating heat, dust, water, and i believe also helps to de-glaze brake pads, but in the DD environment these factors wouldn't matter much.

I'm with Doug, AutoZone works well. Of the two you have posted the Centric looks like a fair price, the slotted ones are a waste of money IMHO.

All rotors are not the same lol. Thats like saying all cars are the same. Bring a set of cheapo rotors to track and after first corner they will be warped. Trust me. You get what you pay for, brembo blanks can take the abuse, cheapo rotors cannot. I say this cuz u mentioned track, if its just for daily driving get cheapos.

Have you even been to track to say this? And brake rotors do NOT warp.

i say even for daily use, brembo blanks are fantastic, get em!! if you live in a climate where things rust, paint the center of the hubs on them with black VHT high temp paint first so they dont look all nasty in 10k
