OP,
How many millimeters of pad to you have left and what is the current thickness of the rotors?
When the brake wear indicator circuit gets cut by the rotor, it has been my experience that I had about 2mm of brake pad left. For me, I use pads at a rate of about 10k miles per mm. If this was my primary driver, I would drive until the light comes on but it is my wife's primary driver so maintenance before lights come on when possible. I also will get through two sets of pads before I need to swap the rotors out.
If you like how your current brakes function, quiet and always there for you, then stick with rotors and pads by a number of the European OEMs: Pagid, Textar, Zimmerman, ATE, Pagid, etc.
When I did my rears, I bought the kit from FCP Euro: Zimmerman coated rotors, Textar pads, Sebro wear sensors, VW/Audi caliper mounting bolts and rotor retainers, Pagid retaining clips. $314 to my door and lifetime warranty. All in factory boxes (no rebox). Broke them in per zimmermans instructions on the rotor box and silence with no change in braking behavior.
