The 5 arm rotor design is my top choice so far. I did a little research. They are available in 19" and are on the S4 I saw in New London Ct.
[I did read a report or blog where they had the same car with the 20" and then again with the 19" wheels. The car with the 19" had better 0-60, 1/4 mile, skid pad, etc. It's not scientific and I don't remember which article it was but the general gist was that if you're into performance, go with the smaller wheel.
A 19" wheel gives a better ride, it takes more to damage one in a pot hole and the tires should be slightly cheaper. It should give a slightly better MPG too if it takes less to spin them.
I like the look of a 20" wheel on the car. That makes it a hard choice.
