     Perry,
     
        It all depends on your intended application and how much you are 
     willing to spend.  But common wisdom is to go for the slotted disc as 
     they are more functional and less prone to cracking; maybe except for 
     the cross-drilled from Porsche.     I myself have installed the ATE 
     Power Disc (slotted) after I warpped my OEM rotors at Jefferson.  They 
     are a pretty good alternative to the OEM parts.  They perform  
     marginally better and only cost a few bucks more.   On the other hand, 
     if you hit the track often, maybe you should get one of those Euro 
     floating rotors.  They will help to cut down your chance of warpping.
     Try Turner, Korman or some other major BMW tuners for your next 
     rotors.
