You dont have to replace rotors at the time of the first pad replacement but make sure you have put the anti squeak paste on the back of the pad and allow it to set up for 24 hours before installing them.
The pad and rotor on the car right now have their own groove that they have settled into. When you put fresh pads on they have a flat face and will not settle into the groves of the rotor at first and thats what causes the annoying squeak.
Every once and a while of brake replacement with fresh pads and rotors they may or may not squeak at first until they have made there groove and settled in. You can put the paste on the new pads as well to eliminate the problem all together with fresh pads and rotors.
Hope this helps.
