I do run slotted/drilled rotors which are a good deal harder on pads. Any pad will gunk those up within around 20K miles, so I just stack up the used rotors and send them out for blanchard polishing a dozen at a time ever couple of years.

I have Type 73 wheels which are 20-spoke or thereabouts, so I know all about brake dust, believe me.
