Default New Rotors... Should I change the pads as well?

I bought cross drilled and slotted iRotors for the fronts 2 years ago and they're warped pretty bad now and I so I decided to jump on the Brembo GP. When I did my iRotors I replaced the stock front pads with Ceramix pads. They have been pretty good and do not squeak yet so I assume they have some life left in them.

Would it be a good idea to replace the pads, even though there is some life left on them, since my old rotors were warped?

Also, with the GP the company is offering Axxis pads for 45 dollars per axle... has anyone had experience with these pads? Good? Bad?

I almost have 75K miles on the car and still using the stock rear rotors and pads and have not changed the brake fluid yet, but I think I will order some Super Blue brake fluid.
