I'd just keep the drilled rotors. They work the same as slotted ones. As they get worn and cracked you do need to watch them (look front AND back) but I wouldn't ditch perfectly fine drilled rotors for slotted ones. The OE rotors can take a lot of abuse...I'm sure the stoptech rotors will be fine.

I'd rather introduce a little moisture into the system for 15 minutes by taking the lid off. If you're counting on the fluid in your reservoir to save you by maintaining the optimal boiling point...you have much bigger issues.
Plus...that used bottle of brake fluid you just topped off your reservoir with probably has a LOT more moisture in it that what's in your reservoir.
