depends on your budget and what you want to do with it. id highly suggest brake ducts, regardless of rotor choice. anything is better then nothing. i made some out of nothing but 2.5 in. wetvac hose and zip ties. it helped when i did the e-town HPDE. this winter when i do the C5s, ill try and improve on it.

you could get brembos, with ducts, and be done with it. or; you could get cheap rotors, with or without ducts. use them once or twice (per road course day) and toss them. you may end up with a warped rotor....never know. if you warp a brembo, youre out a decent amout of money. if you warp an autozone special, youre out alot less, and get brand new rotors with each swap.

dont forget the pads also, theyre more important then the rotors. if you want one pad for driving/track, go with either hawk HPS or HPS+. if you dont mind swapping pads, bleeding brakes for every track day, then get a dedicated racing pad, like ferodos or the like. check out FRRAX and the roadrace section of ls1tech for more info.
