Have had nothing but grinding noises at all times, brake fade after hard-braking, and brake dust (which you won't get when using smooth rotors with the PBR Deluxe pads). I followed the recommended break-in period of the rotors/pads, and have had them on the car for 9 months now.
As much as I like the look of the cross-drilled rotors peeking through the rims, I would rather have stayed with smooth-style (my stock rotors were warped, which is why I replaced them). The benefit of the PBR Deluxe pads creating zero dust definitely outweighs the look of the cross-drilled rotors. I have been told there are pads out there that work with cross-drilled rotors, but that they will generate dust.
My $0.02.
