Help Selecting Rotors

This is kind of a follow on to my previous post about http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/64536-when-replace-brake-pads.html

Now it looks like I will also replace the rotors (Disc brakes) at the same time that I replace my pads. I looked back in the records I have for the maintenance that was done on the car, and I see no mention of any brake work other than a flush done in October 2015. The car has 37,200 miles on it (1997). That's either super good brake performance and life or it was done at one point along its life and I just don't know about it. Either way, I have no idea what rotors are on it now other than is the solid metal looking type (no air holes).

I'd like some help selecting front rotors that would marry well with the Textar non-ceramic pads I just received from Pelican. I'd prefer to spend less than $100.00 each rotor, but not locked into that. The car is kind of a daily driver for me (every other day on average). I expect that to be the case for the next 6 months. After that I imagine I'll end up driving it more. 80% of my daily driving is on the highway.

Looking at Pelican Parts, it seems like the Sebro Slotted & Coated, Zimmermann, Ate and Bosch are the top contenders. Do I want the kind with holes in it? They look cooler (no pun). I know nothing about picking out rotors that match pads (Textar) that suit my driving. I don't track the car (but I'm guessing you probably all know that by my ignorance here).

Help!!
