Anyways I'd never use anything but blankets on the street, just pointless to do anything else. Doing any track I'd stop ******* around and jump to 2pc and more aggressive pads
Does't matter if the hole is drilled or cast in. It will still crack at the hole. And the cast hole still has to be machined to clean it up. It's cheaper to machine the hole then to cast it in. Machining with CNC. It's just 3 more steps to program in. Which you still have to do with cast in holes. Cast holes have more complexity because of the mold.

Did I recommend at type type of rotor to use to the OP? Don't think I did. Just pointed out some differences.

I could care less on what you use. It's your money. If you use carbon on carbon. Then it's
