cross-drilled rotors are a NO unless you increase rotor diameter and thickness. the holes significantly reduce the mass of the rotor thereby reducing its capacity to absorb heat. the holes will become hot spots and will be a source of cracks especially if you tow and/or go offroad and do stream crossings. they do provide the advantage of keeping pads clean and letting gases exit immediately

Upgrading to a bigger rotor means bigger mass to absorb heat but will require bigger calipers and pads as well as the size of the wheels

slotted rotors have less mass reduction compared to cross-drilled rotors and they will provide consistent braking by keeping the pads from being glazed when subject to heavy braking like when towing
