Default Would like some advice on brakes and rotors

So I have the Akebono "big brake" upgrade on my 2009 Sport.

I need new brake pads.

I don't race, don't drive hard and heavy (much), but considered maybe some slotted or drilled & slotted rotors - as much for aesthetics as anything, probably, but it never hurts to have a better brake setup.

So I thought if I could just buy new rotors along with pads and have them installed, that would be nice. Mine are 12 years old and have 90k+ on them, so replacement isn't a bad idea anyway.

Any suggestions for something that would be an improvement over stock, look nice, and won't break the bank? I really have no idea what to look for.

Oh, and I upgraded wheels, but I don't think that would be an issue, as long as my Akebonos clear. Here's what I put on.

19" FORGESTAR CF5V DEEP +20 (front)
19" FORGESTAR CF5V SDC +15 (rear)

I'd love some suggestions on rotors and pads. Long lasting and quiet is probably more important than ultimate performance for my situation.
