Do some searching on this site, pleanty of info around.
Don't know what the Power Stop is versus the Power Slot?
However, from what I've read, the slotted rotors will create faster pad wear than a flat rotor. I don't know if they are worth it over a good set of blanks.(Which I just put on up front, new calipers, pads, and flat rotors, impressive difference from before to after. Had two slider pins that were a problem.)

My confidence in OEM replacements are low considering all 4 of my rotors are warped 
I can't admit that I'm all that confident in replacement rotors either...
I tried the search function earlier, but it wasn't working

Alternatively, are the Baer Eradispeed Rotors worth the extra $$$ over Power Slot/Stop rotors? Will the Baer Eradispeed Plus rotors fit under 16" stock rims?

The Brembo blanks (http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...or&perfCode=P), are supposedly very good. Might be able to find them cheaper than TR.
I have never had a problem with an aftermarket replacement rotor. Then again, I do not autocross or rally race which would over heat and warp them in a minute. For normal everyday driving and occasional drag racing, they work fine.

anything "cross drilled" will get stress cracks at the drilled holes... the only reason people use those are for looks..
the highend cars have the rotors that have holes in them(porsche, Mercedes,ect).. but those rotors are CAST with the holes in them.. there is a big difference.
