Need some Rotor and Pad Advice

Hey guys, after reading through a bunch of threads, it sounds like you guys are seriously in favor of the R1 premium OE Replacement rotors, and Hawk pads. On r1concept's website, I was able to price out everything (using a 10% discount code) for $391.xx

I was also thinking about going with EBC Dimpled/slotted rotors from Autoanything

As well as ZZP's Drilled and Slotted

For Daily Driving and spirited occasional driving, what do you think is the best option? Or are there additional options i'm not seeing.

(Was looking at Hawk pads for all of them)

Or would I be better off calling a dealership up and buying replacement OE pads?

^any experience as to how it feels without "vasoline" ? Lmao

Stock tc rotors and ferrodo pads are the best though... But wouldn't mind getting a cool visual upgrade at lttle to none brake performance loss.
