Hmmm... to me i think that the crossdrilled is the way to go in the brake world.

slotted, I've heard cross drilled warps and cracks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> Plus they wont be able to be used as long, when they get thinner Im sure they crack easier...

Blanks!  no need for cross-drilling b/c new pads don't outgas nearly as bad as old ones.  Slotted isn't necessary on anything except maybe a rally car to clean the rotors..  Besides blanks give you more actual surface area to remove heat from the rotors.

Blanks work best. Just like Chimpie said.  Slots can work great, when on the right car.  The problem is that they can't be turned, they EAT pads like crazy, and they cost a bit of money to be done right.  Unless you are really racing, the trade offs aren't worth it.
