Peter - I've done both.  Right now, I have CCs with slotted rotors (per Paul
Weston) on my 200qw, and CCs w/cross-drilled Brembos on my 90q.  When I
first starting using CCs I put them on existing rotors.

My comments - CCs on my x-drilled Brembos are *great*.  A little noisy
(groany) when stopping hard (more than the slotted ones), but fantastic
performance.  Do it.  You can put the CCs on existing rotors as long as they
are within spec, but I would bed them in gently over a couple of days for
best performance.  Just my .02......SLM
