disc brakes

I am going to change the brakes on my 98 f150 4x4 over the weekend. I have over 170K and was thinking about replacing the rotors on the front rather than having them turned. Any suggestions on where to buy and what brand i should look for?

do you think they need turned or replaced? i hear a lot of auto shops pushing that to drum up more money in the last 10 years. I only remember replacing discs once on a truck in the last 30 years. If it needs it fine, but why? If they are original, they might have quite a bit of wear in 175K miles, but i would check.
