drilled are pointless and if not done properly, can cause cracks
Grooved are best, but are only worth it if you're after high braking performance
plain discs are easiest to live with, and of course, they are quiet in use
I've often said that a good brake setup is 80% pads, 15% discs, 5% fluid
Some decent pads (Pagid Blue?) on decent-quality plain discs will be fine for everyday use
However, if you're intending to go on a track, I would never use plain discs - they will overheat too quickly

All drilled discs suffer cracks, even Porsche 997 models, which have original factory discs fitted. Cracks are not a cause for concern though unless they are large, or can be felt with a finger nail, then they can be dangerous. But i agree with nigel, Grooved discs are the better choice, drilled do look nice though

If i were you, I would go for DBA grooved discs and pagid 4-2-2 brake pads, give good performance for everyday use and would stand up to an occasional track day
