Front brake rotors, size and brand questions.

Looking to replace the rotors and pads on the front of my 2005 Arc wagon. The rotor size is the same as my 2004 & 2005 Aeros, which the manual says are 306mm. I plan on using Achebono(sp?) Euro pads which I already have. These pads cover the entire rotor on the Aeros.
eEuro sells 288mm, 302mm, and 304mm rotors for this car. I know it is a silly 2mm, but am somewhat confused by no 306, even in OEM. Since the pad seems to cover the entire rotor on the Aeros, I'm a bit worried about a problem if the pad is oversized. Also, I'm sure that those last 2mm will help the braking power. Am I too fussy, and why can't I find 306mm rotors?
The second issue is brand of rotor. I've had good luck on my 9000s with Zimmerman, but a search here seems to give mixed reviews on the 9-5. Any suggestions for a quality rotor, perhaps even less expensive for this car? Suggestions appreciated. Want to keep this wonderful stopping power!
