Here's what I would do.
Clean everything off with brake cleaner; generous applications of solvent, a rag and some elbow grease can really help. Plus take a rag and clean out where the guide pins slide, use a small screwdriver or other slender pointy object to really clean things out. As said easlier try and get the guide pins as spotless as possable. When I bought new pins, long story involving too much strength for my own good, they were $35 each so I try to be carefull from now on. Then put in new pads and keep checking the wear pattern of the pads.
If the pads continue to wear unevenly, then a rebuild may help you out. There could be some corrosion between the piston/seal/bore interface that is keeping the piston from retracting enough when you release the brakes.
It is also possable that the disk is warped slightly and is wearing the outer pad faster. Does the brake pedal pulse when you lightly brake? If so the disk may be the culprit(sp?).
