If you have delusions of better stopping with one rotor over another it simply won't happen. Brake torque is an equation of leverage and such. Rotors of like diameter have no effect on torque.
Better may simply be the ones you like better for looks, have plating on them for better rust prevention, or are cheaper for a better price.
Todd, what about the friction between the pad and the rotor?
If I understand that interaction correctly (and it may be that I don't), the friction is created not by the pad to rotor contact but by the pad depositing material on the rotor and the friction that is created between the pad and the pad material deposited on the rotor.
Wouldn't the rotor's composition iron vs. stainless steel, etc., affect this or would the differences be so small as to be inconsequential?
