Bendix rotors might be okay if they're blank, however as far as the whole crossdrilled/slotted/dimpled/crescented patterns on the friction face, you might want to search the forum for a few threads that discuss issues with rotor face designs.
As far as having a larger rotor to display, be prepared to pay a considerable amount of money for it, since the caliper must be relocated further out to compensate for the larger diameter rotor. Unless you're doing AX or RR at the moment or in the future, you might find a larger brake system to be overkill for display purposes.

The cheapest way to get some one inch larger rotors up front would be the C5 brakets made by LG Motorsports. You can reuse your calipers and pads. You will need regular vette front rotors which are 13" compared to the 12" LS1 f-body rotors, so there isn't much difference in price if you already planned to get new rotors. The brackets are $250, which is the main cost.
There is no larger rear kit unless you spend real big money. So is the extra inch worth $250? It's up to you.
