I always replaced pads without even resurface the rotors. And usually it was ok. Each rotor took like 3 to 4 pads before wearing out of factory spec (on the Alfa Romeo that I had). I never used race performance pads (unless on motorbikes), just regular road use Ferodo or Brembo ones. The Brembos usually were better, but they ran out sooner too. On my motorcycle, I had a problem with the 2nd pair of pads, they started to vibrate a bit under slow breaking.
