How much friction material is on the pads? If it's more than the thickness of the backing plate, you might just try some antisqueal grease or goop on the backside of the pads.
Replacing rotors shouldn't affect squeaking/squealing.
I wouldn't bother having rotors turned. If they're thicker than the min. thickness, just leave them alone.
