I’ve never been a fan of the drilled/slotted combo rotors.

Have you ever used a set of Hawk HP+ pads? I don't believe that there is another pad out there that makes that level of brake squeal. I say this as someone who has street driven at least a dozen different track pad compounds.
If you have even the slightest bit of brake drag, they'll squeal when you're off the brakes as well as on them.
I've used many sets of HP+, and currently have a set in the E30 M3 (with Massive 300mm Rallye BBK all around). They are the absolute ultimate street pad. It's important to note, though, that they have a cliff-like fade curve at a relatively low temperature. Exceed their temperature limits and you go from awesome to nothing with little to no warning.
I agree that you won't hear the slots. But that's because it'll be completely overwhelmed by the squeal. If you goop the crap out of them with disc brake quiet, you can get the shrieking down to, uh, normal track pad levels.
