Are NISMO brake pads worth it?

I have since learned that the rotors shouldn't need replaced each time the brakes are replaced. So again, just trying to confirm that I would be able to use a generic or other brand brake pad rather than "nismo" pads. Another person said I could buy $81 NPN brake pads. Thanks.
No need to replace rotors unless you did something really bad to them. You don't even have to have them turned, although that is usually advised. I changed pads on my 240Z for thelife of the car (~10 years & 150K miles) & never turned the rotors. No problem on the street (did not track it).
