I've got almost 220,000 miles on a set of Brembo rotors with virtually no wear since running ceramic pads. With the proper composition cast iron, rotors should be fine as long as they have not been overheated and are of sufficient thickness to meat dimensional requirements and absorb and dissipate braking heat. With the Akebono pads, there is no "bedding" process needed, so I doubt I've ever heat stressed my brake components, as I know I've never lost any stopping power over the years. I am careful to flush brake fluid every 30,000 miles though.
