Help me choose my new brakes

I'm ordering new brake rotors and pads very soon. Since I'm planning to order from TTR, I'd like suggestions as to which rotor/pad combination to go with.

Rotor Options:

Powerslot
EBC
BAER

Pad Options:

EBC Green stuff
EBC Red stuff
Hawk HPS
Hawk Ceramic


I haven't read anything terrible about either brands. I think in terms of the rotors, I'd be fine with either of the 3, but I would value some input if you have experience with them.

My biggest concern is what is the best set of pads to go with...If I go with EBC rotors I'll likely go with EBC pads...but which ones are better? Red or Green and why?

What about if I choose Powerslot or BAER rotors? Which pads should I choose?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Any of those combinations look good to me as they are all quality parts.

Brembo blanks, and any of those pads if you want the best performing brakes.

No drilled or slotted

unless you are running track days get the HPS.
