If you are worried about rotor life why not just buy 5 sets of Centric rotors from Rock Auto. The price will be the same.
If you are in it for looks, then definitely go for the drilled, slotted, 2 piece rotors because they really do look good. I have no problem if that is your motivation.
But if all you are looking for is the best rotors then you need to understand what a rotor does. It is just a heat sink. The more metal the better. And of course, holes and slots remove metal. I suggest that you shop around and pay attention to the rotor weight. Try and find the heaviest rotor in your price range.

The Z1 rotors are meaty so it works well as a heat sync and they stay cool due to the cooling veins. They are on the pricey side but they are good value compared to other two piece rotors:
(The DBA rotors are super nice btw.)

Trust me, less rotational mass is a good thing. You can accelerate quicker, stop quicker and turn in feels better. It's a win all the way around... except on price.
Again, if Minsu doesn't care about the additional performance then he should spring for a 1 piece rotor.
