where do you get this information from?

talk to most racing shops, and most brake manufacturers (including BAER), and nobody recommends crossdrilled for performance driving. holes there there to look cool, and any other cooling effect they have is negated by the stress risers that lead to cracks under constant heat cycling.

all rotors corrode... except for my old KVR cross drilled rotors.. and they must be an anomoly. That brake cleaner you're supposed to use when installing new rotors is used to remove the coating manufacturers put on the rotors to keep them from corroding in the box. On the car, it should be all steel.

Even 'plated' rotors aren't guaranteed against corrosion once you put them on your car.
