Default time to do my front brakes.....opinions?

soooo......its brake time for the front of my rig. I am thinking about some premium Bendix ceramics i found. not sure on the rotors though. I can get heavy duty rotors for around $70 a piece, or i can get drilled and slotted ones for $140 a piece. or, stock-like replacements for 40 (already ruled those out) any opinions on it? i know alot of guys have hawk and EBCs, but i dont think i need to go that route. its lifted with tires, and i do tow my boat often.

I kept my stock rotors at the time and had them turned. At the time I only had enough funds for 2 sets of pads. But next time around I will change rotors

EBC drilled and slotted are excellent and a great upgrade for towing/fast driving.
