This is for the front brake pads. Have pulsing issues so I want to try and replace the pads and rotors first. What rotors should I order?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but you should have the smaller diameter rotors. You'll definitely want to replace them.

I recently replaced my fronts with Centric rotors and posi-quiet pads due to pulsation in the pedal. Installation revealed a stuck caliper piston so I replaced that caliper too. Even afterwards I still had pedal pulsation. So I did the rears a couple weeks later. Brakes perfectly smooth now. Never though braking would bring me so much joy.

I read if you have pedal pulsation but you don't feel it in the steering wheel, then it is most likely the rear rotors warped. And thinking back to a previous vehicle that had warped front rotors, it dangerously flung my steering wheel around.

just order the regular ones, not slotted or drilled, it should work fine. i'm also using akebono and works great, less dust. I used the cheapest though.

Akebono is good . Make sure your rotors aren't bad 1st might just need to be turned cheaper too ! If they can't be turned just buy some stock rotors they all work , all about what you can afford ?
