I your case, it really doesnt matter only running the 1/8, you have more than enough room to stop. I have Brembo cross drilled/slotted on mine.

If all you are doing is one big stop and then a lot of cooling time, I wouldn't waste your money in the bling that X-drilled and slotted give you. Plain and simple you need more mass and a stock like rotor. That will cost less and stop better. If you still need the ultimate rotor, I would take whatever ones you decide on and get them cryogenically frozen. This will help against warping, and increase the stopping power of them, not to mention the longavitiy of the rotors life.
