Talking Best brakes/rotors? any ideals?

Still new to fixing up my car, and I'm thinking of doing my brakes next...I have a 2010 roadster AT touring with 308whp. I've autocrossed once and loved it but otherwise she's my DD. The only brake company I've heard about is Stoptech...and besides that I've heard only get slotted rotors not drilled b/c they're more prone to damage and pads these days don't need drilled rotors. Please help me find something with more bite! Thank you.

Question

How much money do you want to spend?

Drilled rotors are ok on the street. But crack around the holes when pulled hard on the track.

+1 but let me add a tip for everyone on the forum. All steel rotors crack at the track but drilled rotors crack a hell of a lot faster and worse then a solid or slotted rotor. Always check your rotors regardless of type at the start of a day at the track. Ensure that you have no major cracking and never run a rotor that has a crack over the braking surface even if its just rounding the edge try to give yourself about a 1mm spacing to the edge if its closer then that I suggest replacing. Here is an extreme example of what I mean.
