...Drilled rotor particularly on HD trucks will more than likely warp under hard braking with load....
I kept having problems with rotors warping on one of my sedans. The drilled & slotted rotors weren't that much more expensive, so I stuck them on the car. That was 150k miles ago and the rotors are hardly worn. I think I have done two sets of brake pads during that time.
Just put new drilled/slotted rotors & pads on the 1/2 ton pickup... $159 through Summit Racing and 90 minutes of my time out in the shop (just because I also rotated the tires while I was at it).
This is just what works for me, and your mileage may vary. :)
HTH,
