More importantly than slotting/drilling, do a search on cryo-treating them. Cryo-treating should be relatively cheap and is sometimes an option depending on where you buy them. The rotors are "frozen" for a few days near absolute zero. This changes the material density. WHY?
Proven to reduce wear on the rotor and speed heat dispersion. I have done this on my 240Z race-car among others and will do it on my DD.

Link to the tundra brake mod https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/big-tundra-brakes-3rd-gen-4runner-74601/ Just picked up a set of 231 calipers & waiting for my OEM Rotors (Blanks) to come in....my 97 runner rotors are new but warped - sucks!
Not trying to hijack this thread....anyone know if the 231's will fit under MT Classic II's (16 with 35/8 BS) w/o grinding ??

Solid (vented) rotors, all other things being the same, will give you the most braking power, under all conditions that we're likely to see.
Drilled and/or slotted remove mass and surface area from the rotor, both of which are detrimental to it's performance.
Your brakes (pads) will not outgas under any conditions that you'll likely to experience.
For instance, directly from Brembo:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Slotted, drilled or dimpled rotors offered as OEM replacements should not be considered appropriate for high-speed use.
Grooved, drilled and slotted rotors offer an enhanced appearance and may add some resistance to the boundary layer of gasses that can build up between the pad and rotor under extreme conditions, they are not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures that are produced on a track.
Get qood quality CAST rotors, solids (vented), that are not crossed drilled and/or slotted, for the best braking performance.

Brand won't make a whole heck of a lot of difference as long as you stay away from the off shore ones.
Shop price (non-off-shore) if you wist.

They are available many places, but www.tirerack.com has pretty decent pricing online.

imo i would just get blanks or if u can just slotted rotors. drilled rotors are designed for brakes that operate under very high temps, such as autocross, gp, etc. i have seen them crack in between the drills twice now on other peoples vehicles, and thus, i wound up doing brake jobs for them. i stand for blank or just slotted, no drilled, but again thats my 02 and my exp.
