Unless you are racing the Unicorn, I wouldn't go with either slotted, drilled rotors, or ceramic pads. Bad decision all the way around. You will have a real crunchy feel and rotors that won't last long.
With stock rotors (they are oversized as it is and won best braking in its class for years), and soft pads, it will have a very nice feel and rotors will last a very long time as you can already attest to. Soft pads need replaced sooner, but they are dirt cheap and you can replace them 3 times to the cost of one set of ceramics.
