Gas slotted are great for street use, I have them on my cars. I would not use cross drilled, as they tend to warp easily. If I did use them I would buy only ATE, Brembo or other high quality brands that were drilled by the manufacturer. Some out there are drilled by the resaler and are not chaffered ( am I saying this right ) sort of like countersunk.

id go with slotted not cross drilled, i mean they look cool but slotted let gases out also and they stop like mad neways, i have a 92 325 with stock 11.8'' not slotted or drilled and they stop on a dime. i dont think that the bavauto ones are that good if u want to go with drilled go for a good brand like brembo, but that can get expensive.
