Default Standard 2wd 4 pot brakes, what's the best disc?

On a standard Sierra Cosworth 2wd four pot setup what discs do people rate the best? I'm looking for something drilled and grooved.

What makes have you found the best of the ones you've run?

Thanks in advance.

Drilled tend to crack around the holes, only micro cracks, but have had some split with a 2mm gap opening up in the split.
Dimpled and or grooved would be a lot better, but get wide grooved ones so they don't fill up easy with brake dust.
I just use cheapo discs and dimple them, but the best ones I like now are Mintex, and ace prices too, ebay is your friend.
Had Mintex on my dads 3 door for 5 years now, still perfect.

National Sport 8 groove disks from Burton are very effecticve, with Ferodo DS2500 pads.

My own experience has steered me away from EBC and Black Diamond disks, never lasted more than 3 months before being knackered.
