I have almost 60,000 miles and i was told my rotors were no good because of wear over time.

I went with PowerSlot Slotted Rotors and Mintex back in February.
The slotted rotors are less prone to developing cracks. The AWE rotors on the germanautoparts.com site looks like a REAL good deal but they don't have rear slotted rotors.
I bought the rotors from Carparts.com
Fronts $81.90 each
Rears $77.60 each
I bought the mintex from Rapidparts.com
Fronts $69.95 pair
Rears $39.95 pair
This was a lot cheaper than what Midas quoted me for OEM rotors, but I think Midas was just trying to screw me over.
The car stops great, but I'm not sure how much better they are than stock since I never ran any tests. No squealing and minimal dust with the Mintex. I have not noticed wet braking problems.

The front rotors were shipped immed. The rears were backordered for about 2 weeks.
I just checked the website and the prices have jumped a lot since February, gheez.
$98.97 Front
$96.59 Rear
You can almost by 2 sets of the Zimmerman cross-drilled for that. I wouldn't do it.
