Default Brake rotor question

So I am getting ready to do some brake maintenance on my 2008 JKU. But before I buy any parts I was wondering if anybody has or is using drill Rotors from Hawk? I have their brake pads on already and they are great. Just looking for some input on rotors.

I've avoided them because the general consensus is that improvement from drilled rotors is marginal at best, and they really wear down a set of pads.

I have them didn't really notice much of a stopping gain. Did notice that I'm changing brake pads a lot more now even using the hawk pads. Plus side is they look cool behind the rims

I would go with solid, less chance of heat cracking.
