I put on Raybestos Element3 rotors on with Power Stop Z23 carbon fiber pads. The bite on the Z23s is so much better than the stock pads.
Pros: better bite than stock

Just put the same exact rotors on. With Hawk pads and SS brake lines too. Love it so far.
Pros: love it
I went with Zimmerman rotors and the TRW nano-compound pads as I've read they bite like metallic with maybe 2/3 as much dust.
Pros: good bite, less dust

I threw that same combination on my genesis coupe to replace the brembos. This is probably a better brake set up and much cheaper, I beat the crap out of it on multiple track days with next to no fade.
Pros: better setup, cheaper, no fade
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Borg & Beck rotors are OEM (better in my opinion)
Pros: better than OEM
Power Stop Drilled and Slotted Rotors with Carbon Ceramic Pads. I run them on my F30 and they are amazing. Much better than OEM definitely and they don’t really break the bank too bad.
Pros: amazing, better than OEM

I recently did this with FCP Euro. I had to buy the sets separately. I believe they were the zinc coated, drilled Zimmerman ones. Happy with the purchase.
Pros: happy with purchase
Pagid is one of the industry leaders in brakes. They have other single piece cast rotors in the $100/ea range, just make sure you stick with something that uses a high carbon alloy. There's nothing wrong with going single piece, Stoptech's performance rotors are just drilled and slotted Centric high carbon single piece rotors. If you're going to keep the car long enough to realistically think you'll change the rotors again, then FCP Euro for the lifetime warranty. I've run Stoptech Sports and they're fantastic but make a fair amount of noise at the end of their life and expensive now.
Pros: fantastic performance, good value
Cons: noisy at end of life, expensive

I had my rotors replaced at 32345 miles with aftermarket brake pads back ordered. 2 months later bad vibration took back to,dealer bad rotors and pads feels good but now rears are squeaking lmao
Pros: rotors and pads feel good
Cons: bad vibration, rears squeaking
Mileage: 32345 km
I've posted on here before, but my front rotors were grooved from the day of purchase (only a few lines), and has progressively gotten worse. Of course, last tech inspection, the tech said I had warped rotors, and needed a new set.
Cons: front rotors were grooved

Mileage: 32187 km
