Halk's don't have a lot of noise reports on this forum, probably less then I've seen with the PFs. You could go with the rotors if they give you more of a comfortable feeling about the brakes.

With a 2000, I'm not sure if you have four wheel ABS or RABS. Having the wheels lock is not a problem with 4WABS, neither with RABS with some practice. But the 4WABS needs a little more concern to the braking balance, and therefore choices between the friction materials front to rear dependign on use of the vehicle.

Do you feel you have tire skid issues?
