My experience:
Slotted on the front of my 4Runner.
Crossdrilled at all four corners of my JGC.
The improvement in cooling/braking effectiveness far outweighs any reduction in surface area due to the slots and/or holes. Evacuating the heat and assoociated gasses that buildup between the pad and the rotor is how you combat fade. Simple physics - it works. Since the rotors on 4Runners are notorious for warping, there is credence to the notion of them needing the cooling benefits of slotted/CD rotors. These vehicles are heavy and the brakes really get a workout to get them hauled down from highway speeds...
I will admit that the slotted rotors chew up pads quicker. Been there. Oddly, the crossdrilled rotors are not chewing up pads like the slotted.
On a rig that sees mostly trail time, slotted/CD rotors are a waste of money IMO.

Cebby, I hear ya, but there is just as much anecdotal evidence out there from people who have tried them and felt like they didn't improve braking performance. In fact, I recall reading a few posts where member complained that slotted/drilled rotors warped faster than OEM. Believe me, I'd like to give them a whirl, but the jury seems split about 50/50 on these type of rotors.
What brand did you go with?
