Both is what I voted for.

Being more serious, I don't cut corners on breaks or tires and prefer early replacement as I don't find the savings of trying to get everything out of things worth the effort needed to keep track of it.

If I ran a commercial fleet, it would be a different story.
 
I voted replaced them, but that’s a lot meat left on the bone. Not a big tear down job if you need to throw new pads on when it hits the squeal strips. Ball joints are a whole other level.
 
Good timing for this post as I just did the brakes and rotors on my truck last night. I say do both pads and rotors because it's only two extra bolts to get the rotors off. Extra cost but not much extra labor. Mine were pulsating on steep declines and fast braking so I knew it was probably time for new rotors.
