or warped rotor.

The SYMPTOM is a rotor with runout variation out of spec, the CAUSE is the brake pads that are transferring uneven pad material.
THE ROTOR IS NOT WARPING in the sense that its structure is permanently distorting, so just replacing rotors does nothing to fix the problem.
I like Akebono ProACT pads as well. I'd just get some Centric rotors that are double disc ground (usually starts in the middle of the range line, so not their cheapest offering, but no need to go to the most expensive).
I used to recommend RockAuto for almost all parts, but their shipping has gotten outrageous over the past few years, so their pricing is sometimes out of line on a larger order at another place.
