Drilled or Slotted?

92 Tsi AWD 6 bolt w/ factory "big brakes"

Drilled or slotted, or both, for a daily driven street car that occassionally sees triple digit speeds. I will be using Axxis Ultimate pads. I'll get stainless lines later.

I've read that drilled rotors will crack easily (but this car isn't a RACE car and most likely will never be at a circuit track). Will this be an issue for a street car? Also I understand they have less area to dissipate heat because the rotor has less material to spread the thermal load. Also better wet stopping and rotor cooling though?

Slotted rotors apparently are great for reducing brake fade (my major reason for getting performance rotors and pads).

I'm just wondering what some of your personal experiences are, and what you all think I should do? I've been trying to find slotted front rotors for my car at a decent price.

Thanks.
