I have just gone through this excercise and I wish I simply replaced my old G3's with new G3's. Avids rotors are not prone to loud squeaks, bad vibrations and they have excellent stopping power. Read the reviews on Alligators, while they have bling factor, they seem to come with a many potential complaints.

 

I went to Hayes rotors, one works fine, the other binds up at the first hint

of dust in the air. As for Shimano rotors, I have seen many with a warning saying Resin only pads on them. The Avid pads are metal sintered hence the Shimano rotors should in theory get damaged.

 

As I always comment when it comes to brakes and Avid's I have the 3.5 and they have only been problematic. Did the 100km Sabie yesterday, started the race with no brake rub or noise and within 20kms the rear was rubbing a plenty and occasionally binding up. One day I will be free of them.
