Question on Brake Disc Replacement

Pads are designed to wear. The better the pad quality will usually result in more even wear and better braking. This will also help the rotors last longer and stay in better shape. Pads & rotors should not wear at the same rate, they are very much two different materials.
I do have a question about slotted & drilled rotors. Someone at work said slotted rotors are better in the rain. As I think about this, I see an added avenue for rain to be introduced under the pads? I understand the performance reasons for drilled& slotted rotor. What do you think.

In my experience, rotors and pads both wear, which is why MINIs and BMWs have quiet powerful brakes. When rotors are measured, they are close to or at the replacement spec along with the pads.

The slots do eject water, increasing performance.
