Well I hear what you are saying and here's my input:

Cheap anything never works how you want it, there will always be an obvious flaw in something that is of inferior design. That being said ,nothing is designed perfectly.

Brakes and rotors need to be matched. Brakes are easy to replace, rotors are not. Find a budget and buy the best you can afford. With brakes and rotors you get what you pay for.

You might get lucky and find that X brake and Y rotor for 50 bucks each works amazingly. Chances are next time you buy that same setup it won't. Quality control has a price. It's just the limits of manufacturing anything. Keep buying cheap stuff and it will never be as good as you want, and it will always be unpredictable.

In the long run, consistently bad and predictable is better than fantastic every once in a while.
