Especially the last few posts. There are a couple of posts that go into depth regarding the efficiency of slotted and/or drilled rotors when compared to stock, heat transfer, driving through water is mentioned in a link from one them as I recall.....
But the entire post is very informative.

Now, I swapped out my Ex rotors because of warping. I do not have the problem on my 350 so I am not sure when I will be doing them. I expect them to last a long time.

Ive been running that setup towing a 13000# race car trailer for 9 years with no trouble. Ive run my truck at two different race tracks ( road courses) just for fun. Slotted/drilled rotors are useless on a 7500# truck but look cool. Go with the slotted for coolness or the Brembo oem style for quality. Tirerack.com is the best place for variety,service and price.
