Choosing brake rotors for '08 Hoe. Need advise.

Choosing brake rotors for '08 Hoe. Need advise.
I want to change OEM rotors, so I have some variants:
-DBA 4x4 Survival Series (42010SL/R, 42011SL/R);
-EBC Slotted;
-EBC Sport (drilled and slottes);
-Power Slot Cryo rotors;
-ATE slotted;
-StopTech slotted.
Cause Tahoe is rather heavy, I think there's no need to use drilled rotors, to prevent cracks. Maybe I'm wrong, don't know.
I have an only experience of using DBA, have no negative opinion about them, but maybe EBC or Power Slot are better?
Thanks for advise

I changed out to EBC slotted and vented rotors and EBC greenstuff pads (have ~28k on them). No complaints other than the occasional squeaking, but I don't mind because of the better performance (drastically decreased brake fade). For any brake upgrade, follow the manufacturer's break-in/bedding procedures.
IMO do not get any cross-drilled rotors. Also R1 Concepts with Hawk pads have been popular, but I do not know how well they held up.

I've made a decision and ordered DBA. Unfortunately, they are the most expensive, but all the feeedbacks I've seen about them are positive and this brand is well known for quality. I've also bought Hawk Green stuff pads before. Guess it's a good choice)

Shipping to Russia takes about 2-3 weeks, so I'm waiting for.
Sure, I'll share my and Hoe's feelings with forum.
My stock rotors are so extremely thin, I'm counting days
There are no brake rotors in stock here, even AcDelco or Raybestos.
To be honest, we have some problems for Tahoe parts in Moscow.
And the strangest thing - it's not a problem to find any part for Trail or previous Tahoe (GMT 840)
