Slotted or drilled rotors

I recently found out my rear driver side caliper is leaking. So I purchased 2 loaded acdelco calipers. Now as far as rotors go... Should I go with slotted rotors or drilled. I refuse to get slotted and drilled. Some people say slotted is the way to go and other say drilled. What's your opinion? I'm more in it for longevity. I don't do hardcore braking. I downshift not to be cool, just to use brakes less and not to be the first to the red light. Since I'm buying rotors all around, why not go slotted or drilled. Or should I just keep it standard and get solid rotors?

Just keep the standard ones unless you want the looks. You aren't worried about anything but life anyways and those would be better for that.

Yeah, if you're worried about life, get blanks.
Otherwise, between the two, get slotted.
