Bilbo you are not alone with rusting calipers and rotors. I changed to winter wheels and tires and noted that my calipers were a rusty mess too. I had changed out my rotors last year with cheap ones from Amazon and those are holding up better than the OE ones. Frankly, the only warped rotor I've ever had came as the OE one on my BMW X3. Agree with your sentiments concerning "not going back for seconds". By the way, switching away from OE semi-metallic pads also helps with the life of rotors - much less scoring and wear.
