Slotted and cross-drilled rotors are definitely a waste, unless you don't have vented rotors. Both of these additions are left over from the good ol' days when vented rotors were just a dream. Since you're driving a car with non vented rear rotors, you could buy cross-drilled or slotted, but it would be wiser to just upgrade to the SE brakes. Vented rotors without any holes or slots will outlast a rotor with vents or holes anyday.
Oh, unless you're talking about racing in CART or IRL, in which case you do want slotted rotors. But if that's the case, there's probably other upgrades to assess first. Later.

Correct me if I'm outta line here... I could be wrong, but as I understand it, slotted rotors have nothing to do with cooling. The slots on brake rotors are supposed to collect the brake dust and keep it from building up under the pad, right? That prevents fading over long braking periods...
Cross drilling however is just to help cool things down, and probably IS a tad redundant with vented rotors... unless you race (or at least are very hard on your brakes)...

They are, however, puny looking....if peejay would ever get his entrepreneurial juices going, I'll buy a set of big rotors and 6-piston calipers for the '80 strut set-up...that's worth about $500 to me...
