In my opinion and in the opinion of others, to ensure that you get maximum braking and to ensure that you will not get any brake squeal, you need to:

Turn or replace rotors
Use anti squeal grease or spray on the back of the pads
Bed the brakes

You may get away with skipping any of the above but there is a reason to do all of them. The rotors may have a slight wobble and grooving that has to be removed and also you need to remove any embedded material that the original pad has left in the rotor.

I know most of us would never wax our Crossfires without first washing the car And most of us wouldn't change the oil in our cars without also changing the oil filter. So why would one skip any of the proper proceedures in the most important function that we have, and that is stopping the car?

To quote my grandad " Be a job big or small, do it right or not at all."

I think we should have a stickey in the brake section of this forum on the proper method of doing a brake job or maybe we do and I missed it. These brake pad and dust issues are all over the forum.

I know that the Rotex Gold pads aren't the only pads out there and some of or forum members have found some others, but I think at this point, we have more members using Rotex than any other brand of pad. I also think that in time, with usage, we may find a better pad.
