Unless your rotors are warped or cracked from heat, there is no reason to replace or turn them. Pitted rotors are not an issue. High performance rotors come with holes and slots in them. My 1995 F53 rotors are original and unturned and have 148,000 miles on them. I have replaced the pads once and rebuilt the calipers three times. New pads will seat in on old rotor surfaces. Don't fall for the hype.
I do believe that calipers need to be rebuilt or replaced when new pads are installed. The dirt and crud that collects under the boot and on the extended caliper surface will damage the piston seal when the piston is pushed back in the bore.
