Rotors are cast iron, not much variation between brands. But there are variations of iron properties from the first to last of the mold cavities filled from start to finish of a ladle of iron. These variations affect Saab branded rotors as well as those from any foundry. And there really are not any issues, and if they were they would effect Saab's rotors too.
Some rotors come with a rust preentative coating that is not oily and you don't have to degrease the rotor, thats nice. Ate rotors come that way and Ate powerslot rotors don't seem to cost any more. They have a shallow slot pattern that you hardly see. I used them on a 97 Passat. Plain old basic rotors are really all that you need.
If you have not done this work before, read my posts again. Have a really good look at the rotor indexing screw and make sure that you have the right drive tool, and clean the socket in the screw and drive the bit fully into it before attempting to remove it. Do use a hardened bit. Do not use an alan key type tool, as these will twist and the twist will cause the tool to cam-out and this will damage the screw... which is soft steel. So this is the show stopper. Get that screw out, then order parts. When you get it out, put anti-sieze on it and put it back, tighening quite gently only. Put oil on the rotor hub interface gap then as well. You want to know that you can get this screw out before you commit to parts. When ever you get a vehicle, new or used, do this to the retaining screws if used and lubgricate the rotor-hub interface gap.
