Carpartkings sells Powerslot rotors for $154 a pair! Cryo treatment is $40 more. So slotted rotors are less durable than blanks?

They are charging only $77 for each Powerslot rotor and $97 for each Powerslot cryo treated rotor. Meaning a set of cryo treated Powerslots are less than $200. Seems like a good price.

First, I wouldn't mess with drilled rotors. There is really no advantage, are basically for looks and can possibly weaken the rotors. They are probably both equally good, but the Powerslots have been tested positively by many forum members.

I would not really see they are better or worse. They are a different design with an advantage and a disdvantage compared to the solid disc.

Late to the party, sorry. In regards to slotted or drilled rotors: The function of a rotor is basically to act as a heat sink. When you remove material from a rotor (i.e. slots or holes) you limit the ability of a rotor to dissipate heat. Some do tout the benefits of slotted rotors cleaning the pads or assisting when a pad out-gasses. However, in my opinion, less is not more when it comes to braking. That being said....they look awesome :)

I never heard of a shorter life from Tarox owners, they even are known for increased reliability.
Keep in mind all Tarox are heat treated.

New GTI rotors are 25 mm in thickness, replace them when they are 23 mm or when warped.
Of course if you track I'd replace them earlier.
