Really?
Some say Stoptech is good, some say it's Centric now and which is not good.
Maybe the rotors that the dealer sells are best considering the above info, and damn the cost?
I'm confused now.

I expect the alloy being used is rather important.
One thing I've been told time and time again while at hpde events is that parking the car after a session with the e-brake up is a sure fire way to warp your rotors. The uneven cooling rate of the area covered by the pad relative to the rate at which the rest of the rotor cools can be the kiss of death for a pair of rotors.

I have quit using anything but OE rotors & pads. The oe rotors are better about warping &
Have a final finish cut that is better about not squeeling. Since I have gone to all oe rotors & pads on all the car makes I work on I have had 0 squeal problems and very few warped rotors. The warped rotors could probably be traced back to a tire store not torquing the lugs on a rotate or tire job.
