Need help buying rotors

I searched through the Brakes & Suspension forum and found some answers but I'm still indecisive. I decided to buy Project Mu brake pads. Now I need to buy some rotors. I looked at everythingg35.com and found some stock rotors for fairly cheap (~$80/rotor) but then I saw a thread where someone recommended perfectbrakes.com and they have EBC sport slotted rotors for ~$100/each. I have a non-Brembo '03 G. Does anyone have recommendations on what rotors to go with and where to get them? I'm cool with just sticking with the stock rotors but if those EBC rotors are good what's an extra $80?

I'm trying to stay fairly low budget here. I don't need crazy x-drilled mega-duper rotors. Thoughts? Suggestions? Stanton go to hell?

hey, i got new crossdrilled and slotted rotors from racingbrake.com
they are around 400 if that interests you
they are great quality, but buy them for the looks, you're really not going to gain anything performance wise out of them
for an extra $20 a rotor i think they're worth it for the look....

While they do look pretty, they are also functional. If you drive like some of us your brakes can get pretty hot and you'll start to experience brake fade. Haveing slotted and/or drilled rotors will help postpone the onset of this.
