Default Mid-line rotor quality... opinions wanted, please!

Hey guys,
I know I can spend big money on brake upgrades, but my brakes are fine, I.e., they perform well. However, I’m getting new open style rims and bigger tires so I want to add some style to the brakes.
Ill be adding color to the calipers and want cross drilled and slotted rotors.

There are a lot of brands who look good on paper, but I’m leery of the low price point. I can get all four rotors, pads, sensors for less than $300 in most cases.
Anyone have knowledge about the quality of any of these:

POWER STOP
POWER SPORT
HART
CALLAHAN
DETROIT AXLE

Thanks!

I installed a set of Power Stop brakes (rotors and pads) from Rock Auto on my mom's 2013 Tundra, probably 20,000 miles ago, ish. They've been great, they had a couple of options for price point, durability and stopping power, I think I chose the mid-range package. So far they've been great. Obviously apples to oranges, but if they're any indication of parts for other makes, I'd recommended them.

I've been using Brake Motive for over 10 years and have never had an issue. They also come with a great warranty. I have 4 cars in the driveway (07 accord, 15 Yukon, 05 530i, and 17 X6) they all have a set on them.

I know I am a little late to the game here, but I second Brake Motive. I have a set on the front of my 535Xi touring and they look and work excellent. I have been using them for at least 10 years, probably longer. I've replaced many of my cars brakes with them over the years. Highly recommend.
