Post '73 911E front rotor question

i'm about to begin a front brake job on my '73 911E. i will be replacing pads, turning the rotors, and bleeding the brakes to replace the fluid.

i read the shop manual (imagine that !!) and found that the min/max front rotor thickness is 18mm/20mm. my front rotors are now at 19mm and have a few minor ridges in them.

two questions:

1). what is the likelyhood that more than 1mm will have to be removed from the rotors when they are turned?

2). should i turn them and put new pads in, or should i splurge now and replace the rotors?

3). what brake pads are recommended for 90% street, 10% track use?
