I have four Saabs and I've used different brands of coated rotors on all of them. One has Zimmermans, another has Pagids, a third has ATEs, and another has no-name Geomet coated rotors from eBay. At least in mostly salt-free Seattle, they all seem to rust at about the same rate. They've all started to show a little rust on the edges after a couple of years. The ATEs are sort of all over brown, but not scaly and nasty looking after 5 years or so, and I'll probably replace them soon just for cosmetic reasons. One of my Saabs, a 2001 Viggen, still had the factory slotted rear rotors on it when I bought it last fall. The hats were fairly rust-free after 21 years, which was pretty impressive, but the edges and the bottoms of the slots were pretty rusty. What I've gotten out of all this is that it doesn't really matter what brand I buy. They'll all look good for a couple of years and won't after 5+ years.
