It all depends on what the car is used for.

Cross-drilled are only needed if your rotors glow RED HOT during heavy/repeated braking, no way your gonna do that on the street unless you leave the ebrake on or sticking caliper. If that were to happen, one doesn't belong on the road They do look the best

In most cases the type of pad matters more than the rotor surface, unless its a race car. Brembo blanks & performance pads do very well, for better looks you may want dimpled and/or slotted.

Braided brake lines will also do more than a cross drilled rotor.

Big brake kits & cross drilled rotors are over-hyped.

Brakes is another thing not to be cheap with.
