Looking at buying these: http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9542EBC.cfm
How many of you have installed them? Are these the best option?
Just looking for a few opinions.
Thanks!

9 years doesn't speak from first hand knowledge.
There is no condition where slotted and drilled or dimpled have a negative effect.
I run DBA's with Kevlar pads , and with a little over 73,000 miles on them now, driving over Colorado's best rails, mud and snow, they are doing well.
As for the original questions, DBA rotors are longer lasting and quicker stopping the EBC and the EBC pads are great. Might want to go look at the prices Steve has on the DBA's and EBC pads over at DAP.

So I got my EBC rotors and pads today. WOO-HOO!!!
Question...there is a note inside the boxes with the rotors that mentions an "air" sound during braking when using dimpled and slotted rotors. I've never had slotted rotors, so i am not familiar with this sound. Is it crazy annoying or not really noticeable?
Thanks!

There is a negative side to consider when using slotted discs etc when you go offroad, they can fill with mud and crap and then when you brake you can damage the pad / disc surface and render them useless
Imo the Disco don't really need them unless you drive it like a nutter on road.........
Also slotted discs do work well in "high" performance situations as they de-glaze the pad, but all that is at the expense of pad wear / life, so you will probably find you will change them more often.
