Brake Rotors different brands

I am looking into installing some new brake rotors on my 01 f150 but i dont know which brands are the best and wether or not the cheap ones on ebay are any good. i just swapped a lightning motor into my truck and had a 4.2 so i def want something to stop the truck faster. i was thinking slotted rotors but i want thoughts on the cheapest best brand there are or are they just all the same.

I got www.brakeperformance.com slotted and dimpled up front and just got slotted in the rear after being happy with the fronts. Don't get their pads though they aren't the greatest IMO

Wagner rotors and Wagner ThermoQuiet pads. Decent price and can be bought at any local parts store.

Good luck,
John
