I say if you are really serious then you install better brake pads and or
upsize the rotors/calipers/master cylinder. Drilling holes decreases the
amount of brake surface and really isn't a great idea unless you've got
brake mass to spare.

Btw, I've got drilled rotors on just the back of my Scirocco for bias
reasons. That is, I expect the front of my car to provide a greater portion
of the stopping force. The holes in the rotors ensure that my pads clamp
down on just air and voila!

YMMV...
