Should I have the front brake rotors machined or buy new rotors? If new rotors, do you have a recommendation (i.e. Wagner or EBC)? The front rotors have worn grooves which cause squealling noises when cold. The brake pads do not have excessive wear but do appear to be affected by heat. Truck is used for normal street driving with occasional hauling.

Either rotor are good ones. But just don't change the rotors, replace the pads as well even though they aren't worn much. It's not the thing to do to replace rotors and not pads, you'll get pulsation, fast pad wear.
