Default Help decide rotors?

I am about to change my rotors out, i cant decide if I want to put black zinc coated or silver zinc coated rotors. They are going on a black 02 SS with chrome 18" ZO6 wheels. The black rotors are all black coating not just the centers. I will decide what color to paint my calipers, after I decide what rotors to get. Any suggestions or any pictures will help. I did not want to post this in handling and braking because it an appearance issue.

The area where the rotor contacts the pads will rub off anyway in a few miles. The black coating would be very noticable. Silver less so.

I like the silver ones personally. To me, the black ones just look like there caked with brake dust.

I like the silver zinc coating so I would think it would look much better than black. Have had mine for 2 years now.

I was thinking about getting drilled/slotted rotors, I assume these last awhile, since I doubt they can be turned?

Actually drilled/slotted can be turned.
