Looks like your pads lasted you quite some time, not a bad thing at all. While your mileage will vary based on your driving habits, of course, if you have any doubt, be willing to spend the money and put on new rotors. Personally, I feel that when it comes to tires and brakes, I'm willing to spend the money to get what I need to be safe. When things go south, at the very least you want to be able to slow/stop properly, so don't cheap out for the sake of saving a few bucks, because there are still times where you get what you pay for.
