New brake pads and rotors, which ones? Options

[6strngs]

Alright, my car has been in need of some new brakes for a while now, I figure it's time I get some in, especially since my uncle who is coming out for christmas said he would help me install them. Anyway, I want to go with a cross-drilled or a drilled and slotted rotor. I saw the drilled/slotted rotors on nopi, but they're pretty expensive. I also saw some on irotors.com that were only $229 for the front and back. (plus an extra $50 for zinc plating on them, but I figure that that is only for rust protection, and since I live in cali, rusting rotors really isn't a problem. so I shouldn't need the zinc plating, right?) so, does anyone know if they are any good?

And I don't know what kind of pads to get. I've heard good and bad about EBC greenstuff pads. And I've heard that Hawk pads were pretty good. I want something that can be used on my daily driver, but are an upgrade from stock that will hold up to aggressive braking, and possibly even autocrossing one day. I don't really know the pros/cons of ceramics vs. regular pads so I don't know which I need.

thanks in advance for any help!

ok, finally recieved my irotors rotors today, after two full weeks. I'm definately not happy with their shipping/processing time. but then I get the rotors, and open up the boxes to find that 3 of the 4 have some minor surface rust on them. my uncle says that's no biggie, and once you get them on the brake pads will wear away that. but my concern is that one of them looks as though it were spray painted... to the point where there is lint in the paint and I can stratch it with my fingernail. I dunno if that'll also come off with a bit of use and be ok, or if I should be worried. opinions?
