Depends on the pricing, if it's not too much more I would go with the Brembos, because it has a better reputation and I also heard that it's plated so that they won't rust as bad as other rotors. But then again that rust does go away after some braking.

You can't lose - either one is fine. In fact, I recently purchased a set of rear SL600 rotors that were supposed to be Brembo, but they no longer made the rotors. Balo made them and are identical to the Brembo rotors. I'm very happy with the Balo rotors. I have Brembo rotors in the front.

pads are too dusty but i can change them next time.
my 400e has the most incredible brakes i ever had. 60 mph to 0 mph in 110'
the slotted/drilled rotors are nice, but you may need some money for euro lights or the european only 400e sportline suspension.
