Also how can I tell if I should change the rotors?

Brake pads really depend on how you plan to drive the car. Mintex pads are a good OEM quality pad for street use. Hawk pads offer higher heat ranges for some track use, and Raybestos ST-43 are a full race pad for extreme high heat conditions and maximum durability.
Some favor Pagid as an aftermarket pad but I had a lousy experience with them.
Measure your rotors. If they are at or near the min. runout stamped on the hat, replace them.
