Default SIMPLE - REAR DISCS AND BRAKE PADS - GOOD PRICE?

Looking to buy rear discs as well as brake pads. Currently I have red stuff pads and to be honest I bought them at a very reasonable price last time and I am looking to pay the same price. Regarding the disks, i have standard ones on the front with red stuff pads, do I go for vented or what?

MY94 Impreza Import....

I recently renewed my rear brakes, i went for a set of cross drilled (and vented) rear discs, with freodo ds2500 pads and braided hoses. I got the discs from camskill.com (they do plain discs as well) for £115. And the other stuff from scoobymania for ~£125. Can't complain with that.

"Do i go for vented?", I think you need to stick with whatever your car has on at the moment. I'm not sure if the caliper is any different for a solid disc or a vented one. (Vented discs have hollow channels running through them for air to pass and cool them, making them thicker relative to a solid disc).
