Some rotors are thicker than others & if your system is an open one, it could cause drag on the pads...
i personally use a Hope 185mm DH04 rotor for the front of one bike with an Avid mech caliper & a rear adaptor to get it to fit over the bigger rotor.... it works awesome, & fits together perfectly... it has at least 15% more power & still has xlnt modulation...
I have used (& still do...) shimano rotors with Hope XC4 brakes as well & Hope/ shimano rotors with Hayes calipers... as long as they will fit properly when mounted front or rear it makes litle diff on the rotor manufacturer
