Just go for standard/uprated standard discs IMO. Yeah I'd imagine they would wear them quicker...

Drilled and grooved discs on my D turbo were amazing compared to standard ones

Not under harsh breaking, after repeated heat cycles. And they'll probably only fail if they are either a: shit, or b: used on track and get hot and cold a lot under some serious abuse.
On a road car, you're not gunna notice the difference in fade against standard discs. Imo anyway.
