If the rotors are not warped, in other words, no vibration when you brake, then just re-use them until they reach the wear limit.

Even if they have nasty gouges, as long as they don't vibrate, you are good.

Yup. I just slapped a set of EBC red on mine a few years ago, next time it gets new rotor and pads. I didn't even use the anti-squeal pads and they've been as quiet and strong as ever.
