Should I have the rotors surfaced or (turned)?
Rotors can be resurfaced if they remain above minimum thickness to ensure proper pad seating.

Rotors can be resurfaced if thickness allows.

Yes if there is enough metal left on the rotor to not take it below minimum thickness. This will give your new brake pads a smooth surface to seat to.
