For street use I think they will both do fine. You can really benefit from cross drilled and slotted rotors if its only street use you are wanting. If you do some heavy duty racing then one of those are prone to cracking. I'm not sure but I think it might be the cross-drilled, or was it the slotted? Can someone chime in?

Plain rotors are the best.
drilled rotors are no longer necessary with modern pads since they no longer 'out gas'...pure bling...and just gives more places for cracks to start propagating.
Slotted helps a little by ensuring a clean pad face if you glaze them by overheating, but isn't really necessary, and makes the brakes very noisy for the street. Also increases pad wear significantly.
It's all bling at the end of the day...I race on plain rotors unless I have to run something else.

Drilled are prone to cracking so I would avoid.
Slotted ftw, they take off the "glaze" that builds up under light breaking.
Down sides are: noisy until pads and rotas bed in.
Increases brake dust.
Increases pad wear.
Plus sides are you stop quicker because there is no glaze.
