Recommendations for aftermarket brake rotors?

As the title says i'm looking for some recommendations on brake rotors and pads. This isn't for the RSX, but for my cousin who just bought a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week. Apparently a really big problem on these trucks is that the brake rotors warp prematurely, like 10,000 miles . Right now his are kinda warp and the guy said he already cut them, so he's looking to replace them. He told me while searching the web the problem lies with the OEM rotors, and a majority of the people said if you get aftermarket rotors you should be fine. So i'm looking for some recommendations of a good aftermarket brake rotor. It doesn't have to be something insanely crazy, I know he already priced Baer and Stillen and they are way out of his budget. I was thinking maybe something like Brembo or Raybestos? I haven't got any prices yet, but i'm just wondering if anyone can recommend me a good rotor/pad that is affordable.
Thanks in Advance!

Check the Tirerack.com and see what you find. There should be a fair amount of feedback and even if that's not available their phone help is second to none!
