Slotted rotors have higher mass and seem to holdup well in high heat operation. But how does the slots, which is designed to clean break pads impact typical break pad life? Is a slotted rotor more durable than a drilled rotor??
Or should I just stick with good'ol vented disks? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

When it comes to brakes i feel NEVER EVER EVER EVER cheap out always get the best *while still sane* you can dont' even look at costs remember its all you got to stop you.
While just oem style is pretty good for normal and light spirted drives I race alot and when my motors arn't blowing the fuck up I drive it daily also so i needed something track worthy and ok for street.
I love my Brembo blanks or as you said good ol vented *most everyone will agree hands down best rotor money can buy for a honda* for pads I run HawkHPS hawk claims they sqeek i've yet to find this i had more squeels with oem pads and even then very rare.
As far with race cars they are stopping over and over from 100-200 mph so for them drilled helps for you and I we just lose a bit of stopping area *most supercars/race cars brakes are alot bigger to stop that* Drilled rotors of lower quality do risk cracking.
I know I send a bit of a novel to you but Brembo blanks + Hawk HPS pads you'll be happy with better then stock and price is not much more if not less then hondas OEM.
