Brembo or other rotors

I want cross drilled rotors. I know that slotted rotors would be better, but my question is, are after market cross drilled rotors going to be at least as good as the stock brembo rotors I have? If so, do you have any recommendations?

Why do you want to change them?

My brembo rotors are rusting and I like how cross drilled rotors look.

The Baer's will save you about 5 lbs. per rotor.

Like... rusting around the hub or on the surface of the rotor?

Either way, so long as you have adequate thickness and no warping, the issue is probably only cosmetic. The surface rust will be gone as soon as you step on the brake pedal to stop the car.

Around the hub and in the vented part of the rotor. It is just cosmetic, and I could paint them I guess.

I would stay away from drilled. If you like the look go with dimpled.
On my Lightning this is what every rotor in the set of high end rotors looked like after 10k miles. Yes there were a lot of 130 mph + 1/4 mile stops. But they shouldn't have cracked. This is the second set to do this. 2 Different company's

Yeah friends love to tell me to not go with drilled on a daily driven car.
