R1 E-Lines or Centric Rotors?

Since I need to replace both my front rotors I've decided to go ahead and upgrade a bit to the 12" rotors from the 06+ Imp/Monte. Doing some digging before I order and wanted to hear opinions on the R1 Concepts E-Line OEM solid rotors vs. Centric solid rotors. Not much of a price gap on either.

I hear the Hawk pads like to squeal on the R1's so if I go that route I'll probably get EBC green stuff pads. If I go Centric probably stick w/ the Hawk HPS pads.

I don't want/need drilled or slotted rotors. Just something that will last. No cares about "looks", just stopping. Will be picking up the brackets and calipers for the same as well, along with SS lines. Should all be bolt on from what I've read.
 


My brother went with centric rotors and wagner thermoquiet pads oh his 03. I must say it's a very nice combo. They are quiet and the car brakes real nice. I myself have R1 blank rotors with hawk pads. Let's just say that I'm about to swap to the same set up my brother has on his 03. The R1's do squeal even after putting the disc brake quiet stuff.
 
Thanks for the input. In fact it was you that I read about the squealing issue from. Now it's time to find a jy w/ an 06+ Imp or Monte and see what they want for the calipers/brackets.
