Brake rotors, really a difference?

I have a few different rotors across my bikes and extra wheel sets. I don't really notice a difference in any of them. Some wear a little faster, some make a little more noise when wet, other than that... I'm leaning towards whatever is cheap and just replace as they wear. I don't do downhill enduro or extreme high speed road descents but I do ride in all conditions and even some occasional loaded touring in the hills and I am a close to clyde. In my experience, the pads make 99% of the braking experience, the rotors maybe 1%? At least in the 6 bolt realm, the RT66 seems like a great all around utility rotor and is about $15.
