Default Rotor Recommendation

I currently am in need of changing my front rotors. rear ones are good but might change them too if i can find a good deal on from and rear rotors. I dont have a ton of money to spend. I live in a city-type area when im always using my brakes, im not slamming on them but im kinda hard on them. What would you guys recommend?

Both of these are much better than the stock rotors:
Brembo blanks
Autozone blanks.

I just did my own breaks for $150. I bought duralast front rotors and duralast Glod Cmax ceramic pads from auto zone. They brake really well and there is no noise at all. Brake job was free since I did it myself. Really easy to do.

Brembo blanks are probably the best for a stock size replacement. If you want to go cheap I had good luck so far with rotoworks from the WS6store (are they still a sponsor?)
$170 for all 4 and they are zinc coated so they don't rust as quickly. That said, when it's time to replace mine I'll be getting brembo blanks.
