Don't wimp out, it's pretty easy.
I ordered rotors and rebuilt calipers from eEuroparts. The extra $50 or so is worth it, in my opinion. My calipers were covered in old brake grease (like tar) with pebbles and other gunk embedded. Cleaning that stuff is not fun (I did the rears too and just cleaned the calipers since they weren't seizing, as far as I could tell).
Definitely buy new rotor set screws, and definitely use lots of anti-seize on that part well in advance of tackling the job. One side took me 15 seconds to take the bolt out, and the other side took about 4 hours (including runs to Sears Hardware). Guess which side got the anti-seize treatment?
Other than that, it's a simple job and I had no real problems with it. Take your time, be patient, and give those set screws a lot of respect!
