brake rotors/pads

so the time has come for me to replace the pads and rotors on my wife's 4Runner. im lookin to replace the OEM stuff with some aftermarket performance pads and rotors.
seems that EBC and PowerStop are the companies ive been seeing that offer a drilled/slotted type rotor for the truck. has anyone gone with either of those setups and can comment on what you're experiance have been with them so far? or if anyone else has any other performance rotor in mind that they recommend. and also a reputable place to purchase them from on the net.
keep in mind i do work for a dealer and can get the OEM parts cheaper than retail but even with my discount i can still get the aftermarket performance stuff a little cheaper.

any help would be appreciated.

Get some stoptech pads and blank rotors and call it a day. If you get those dimpled rotors you'll actually decrease braking torque.

I had Centric rotors (plain) and Stoptech pads, I went through them pretty quick (warped rotors) and didn't see any benefit... This could have been because of a poor install, I dunno.

I just installed EBC plain OEM rotors and green pads, had the dealer do the work because nobody seems to do brakes worth a flip around here. The brakes are like the day I bought her new.

I'd leave the dimples, slots, etc. for sports cars... Just go with the normal rotors.
