brembo xdrill or slotted replacements? which pads?

i'd like to ask those who had their brembos replaced with these, as to what pads they used. also, which of these two (xdrilled or slotted) eat the pads faster. and which pads are (1) gentle on the rotors plus (2) produced less noise and (3) much less brakedust than stocks. the priority is in that order, rotors are more expensive than pads and i dont want to replace them everytime i change pads. im at 28K and the dealer wants to have them all replaced, rotors and pads.

thanks.

go with slotted Brembo, or save money and purchase aftermarket ones, and change the pads to Hawk's, or Project Mu's for absolute minimal brake dust.

LIL Devil Motorsports has the brembo rotors the cheapest I have seen and they are great to deal with. I picked up drilled for the rears for 310 plus 16 shipping. Slots are the same. Since I don't track the car, i went with drilled for looks mainly but slotted supposedly performs better especially at the track. I do believe that slotted may wear the pad out faster. I also went with Project Mu NS pads from project nissan and love them. Great stopping power, no squeeks, n very low dust!

hey i plan to get the slotted rotors likely sometime in the near future. i went with the nismo r-tune pads, and i am happy with them... they are have produced zero sound so far, low dust, and i was TOLD they are rotor-friendly... plus some other sites i checked out said the same. in addition they have amazing bite and i havent experienced fade yet either...
if you're looking at price, just have the original rotors machined.. it should be possible to do one time
