Need new rotors help me choose.

I'm going to be daily driving them and also putting them under some occasional hard abuse. help me pick which ones would be the best.

Raybestos Aimco-GS Brake Rotor

Beck/Arnley Front Brake Rotor

Bendix Brake Rotor

Qualis Automotive Disc Brake Rotor

Thats all the brands I can AFFORD right now, so dont say "get some other brand or yata blada" K? Thanks.

stock replacements? just be sure to have them checked, before you put them on, we had a couple sets of stock replacements be as much as .049 inches thicker is some areas of the same rotor.

I've had some very good luck with reybestos rotors on my street cars, they have lasted through two sets of pads, three brake fluid changes and a hundred or so laps around various auto-x courses and are just now needing to be turned.

I dont know what kind of crap is spewing out the mouths of certain individuals on the internet, but I would be very wary of using a full blown track brake setup on a street car, as they wouldnt have a chance to heat up to the temp they are designed to be used at.
