Brembo OEM.
As for the Brembo OEM. My race pads destroy them, but they never warp (even several millimeters thinner than spec). Guys have warped eradispeeds (and I'm sure there are a few sets of warped Brembos around as well). If you get enough guys beating on parts, somebody will break, bend, or destroy some of them.
Just remember not to park the car with the brakes real hot. Try not to slide into the driveway and park it, take it easy for a mile or two before you arrive. Try to cool things off a little first. This advice seems to have cured my problems with warped rotors on my 3rd gen F-body (I'd warp a set every 3,500 miles). After I learned to cool the brakes before parking the car, I quit having problems. This is not a cure all, just something that may help everyone out. They really are a product of how you treat them (brakes and pad and rotor life).
My thoughts.

Let's see two sets of Irotors for the price of one set of Baer's no brainer to me. Lots of people use the Brembo and aimco rotors it all depends on how much you want to spend.
