It does not matter what type of rotors you install on the vehicle, the problem as you stated braking down hill instead of using the engine to slow down, going down hill using the brakes only creates heat, prolonged use of the brakes on hills or severe applications on flat ground eventually will overheat the rotors, and they will warp, even the most expensive vented and fancy racing brakes will be damaged.
