For what type of driving?

For my daily commuting plus occasional track use on road courses, I have been using Wearever rotors. They are cheap ($500 for a set of four) and I can get them at the local Advance Auto store. Performance and rotor life is what you would expect: adequate, not great. I get 4-6 track days on the front rotors using EBC Yellow pads.

I have not tried OEMs or other high-end rotors on this car, so I can't compare.

Evosport's rotors are pricey but quite a bit lighter.

I have had good success with parts.com for OEM, best price I have seen on the web.
