Can't speak performance wise on the ceramics on s2000s ,but I put a set on the front of my Nissan Pathfinder and brake dust went from bad to non-existent.They stop well too.

when you resurface the rotors they are more prone to warpage later down the road, so based on that I'd suggest new ones.

Most people seem to go with Centric rotors.
