Buying rotors for looks? Very bad.

I recently put in powerslot rotors myself. While I was at the store, I was looking at various different brands...
To be honest, if I wasn't planning on setting the 95 up for drag racing, I would've gone with the Bendix. But with the things I've heard about the powerslot, I figure I have 1 life and its not worth gambling over a few bucks.

Can you please talk about the things you noticed between Bendix and Raybestos rotors as these will be the more common rotors for the average bonne owner.
Also..How do the powerslots differ from the Bendix beyond the slot?

As for Raybestos rotors, I bought raybestos pads. I've never used ceramic pads myself, so for the same reason I posted above, I went with the Raybestos pads.
Who has an opinion on what kind of rotors I should put on my car? She is badly in need of a new set, but I don't want to sell my soul to buy them. I also don't want to go with the cheapest ones I can find. Help...please, my bonny needs you!
