you should be fine as long as the resurfaced rotors are still within spec tolerances
I've always been told that it's important to match rotors and pads so they have the same friction 'hardness', otherwise one will eat through the other. The brands don't have to match but the hardness does.

I would think that would be more of an issue on racing brakes. Aftermarket brakes for street use are usually made to meet or exceed the manufacturer's specifications and I would think that there are SAE and/or NHTSA guidelines to conform to, as well. That would be my thinking, anyway, for what it's worth!

I went with the Raybestos Advanced ceramic pads and rotors on all four corners. Ordered from RockAuto. For the price, they work great, and once I get new brake fluid in there, it should be even better.
