another brake question(pad and rotor related)

Its time for new brakes. I know my rear pads are shot, and i havent measured but i think my rotors are just about done(basicly if i get them turned, they wont be in spec anymore).
Id like to get a set of pads and rotors that will give me as much stoping power as possible that will last as long as if I went with an OE pad and rotor.
Im looking at the EBC green stuff pads and maybe the EBC rotors, or the powerslot rotors.
They will used in my daily driver, but I still find time for some spirited driving(nothing really fast, just taking turns at higher speed then normal when no-one is around). No autoX yet, but im looking.

If the EBCs are what im looking for, what are some other suggestions? Thanks.

stock rotor and delco durastop pads. They are a great improvement over stock. Downside is, the pad does dust.

Im using Powerslots and Hawk HP+ pads. The pads I love (I had Performance Friction Z Rated before and they didnt dust or stop the car much). They dont dust too much and they stop great! Squeek just a bit when warm and you brake gentley. Hard braking has no issues. The Powerslots have been nice too, but I dont know if they are really an improvement over stock or not. Oh, the HP+ is what is sold stock on the Z06 I believe, so its safe for a daily driver, plus you can use them at the track too. They wont compare to a track pad, but they are supposed to handle the heat fairly well.

JC Whitney has stock rotors for $20 or $29 or something like that, shipping might suck though, so try a local store like Napa or Kragen, Checkers, Shucks, Autozone whatever...
