One quick way to tell if a rotor is ready for replacement (at least on an "S" and that is what you have) is to feel for a lip at the edge of the rotor. If this lip is 1mm or greater then it below the specs and according to Porsche should be replaced. If there is no lip or it is very small (less than 1mm) and the rotor looks good then it is probably still good.
Centric makes good inexpensive brake pads, I run them on several of the street vehicles in my family. On my Boxster S I am running EBC red but that is because it sees a lot of track use. I had OEM pads before and never had any trouble with them, even after several track days. I just noticed that as I got faster and the brake pad got past 50% wear, the wear accelerated. I have heard it is because more heat gets in the pad and doesn't dissipate as easily because there is less pad material. I believe Centric has an OE formula pad.
Being in Canada though I have no idea what is available.
