Well, I got slotted rotors, they will help bite into the pads a bit better for better stopping, but also they will wear down the pads faster, but who cares if you want to stop better you can't have 50K mile brake pads. (the mushier the pads the better they work, look at any german car the front rims are covered with an inch of crap because they put mushy pads which put out tons of brake dust and don't last as long, but they stop the car alot better)

Also I have HEARD of (but not seen) problems with cross drilled rotors cracking, but my friend has cross drilled with no problems so I guess it's only if you really push them.

And I'd do nothing about the rear drums, the fronts are what count, don't worry about the rear brakes other than making sure they work properly. Also rear drum shoes last alot longer, my front pads had 50% wear, the rear shoes had about 10% wear and amazingly all the springs looked brand new, no rust at all.
