"Dimple Drilling" will not decrease the strength of the rotor itself as much as cross drilling will. For a daily driver regular rotors should suffice. It's really up to you to decide if they are going to be functional for you. Europes best cars come with slot drilled rotors stock.
Yes, but slots are designed to expel hot gas whereas dimples are not.
