I have Hawk HPS pads and the stopping power is not as good as OEM. Definitely less dust though.
I think R1concept rotors are one piece and the OEM are two piece. The inner section is aluminum riveted to the cast iron disc. This reduces the unsprung weight.
I think the best possible combination for daily driving is OEM rotors and pads. This is just my experience.

Hi guys I had a quick rotors/brakes question!
I changed my brakes pads with HAWKS about 4 months ago, and I installed my Slotted rotors about 5 months before that. But ever since the pads where changed the car squeaks too much...what seems to be the problem??

The noise you hear is a high pitch vibration. lubing all the contact points (not the brake pad face that contacts the rotor!) will help silence most if not all of the noise.
