Are you comfortable with how to do the rest of the job?

Ceramic pads are nice because they are low dust pads. They do wear longer and wear rotors less but I still replace the rotors with the pads because they are not very expensive, they have gone through so many heat cycles and the thinner they are the more likely to warp. When I inspect the old rotor they are almost always smooth but they always have a ridge where the pads don't make contact which indicates rotor wear. I am also of the opinion that new pads seat better and wear better on new rotors. That's OCD, maximum performance me.
