I'm a believer in replacing rotors if they are remotely close to minimum, so I go by condition as well as thickness. If there's any scoring I just replace the whole rotor. It's nice to have all new brakes because you don't have to think about it for a good long while when you do it all at once. Fronts are much more important than rears.
I don't know the part number answer, but Brembos are fine, and at about $40-50 they don't break the bank.
Read all the procedures & descriptions here and elsewhere and have all the tools you need ready ahead of time. Be sure to get new set screws for the rotor to wheel mounting.
Good luck.
