Here is one of many many many many many many many threads on the subject:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/477787-need-help-explain-slotted-drilled-rotors.html

Short answer:
Stick with blanks.
Sloted & Cross-Drilled are primarily for looks.
(Even the manufacturers admit it.)

Brembo OEM Bkanks and AutoZone DuraLast Blanks.

All non-swept areas (where the pads dont contact) will rust. If that is an issue for you, you can paint these areas with high-temp caliper paint.
