My understanding is that both front and rear brakes are the same whether petrol or diesel, hopefully Weasel, Meister, JCL etc will confirm.
For drilled rotors try these companies:

They look cool, but actually decrease braking and tend to crack. People who want to do this are going to, but it really isn't a good thing.

Aftermarket cross drilled rotors for the X are not going to be quite up to that standard.

Yeah.

For what it is worth, JCL made some good points in the following thread about cross drilled rotors. You may want to take a look Paul;

I agree. They are all for looks. I would go slotted if you are wanting a different look. You can't go wrong with plain though.
