The issue has started on my Z a few months ago, on and off, and I'm wondering if I should just replace the rotors with aftermarket. Would those warp after heavy use?

It's the pads and your driving style, not the rotors. I have never had a car do this to me before. It must be Nissan's pads coupled with the fact that I am guessing you use your brakes in the twisties a bit and then stop at a red-light and that's where the harm is done.
Un-even pad material transfer caused by a)poor bedding (I followed Akebono's advice and just drove easy for 500 miles...not the way I plan on doing it this time around. I will follow a more conventional brake-bedding process) and b) driving the car "easy" after getting the rotors hot, and sitting at a redlight letting the pad material burn onto the rotor face.
