you had me right up until the word "Armada"
Seriously - On an Armada = unless you are towing a large boat up and down mountains on a regular basis - don't bother.
On the track - with a car appropriate for the track - slotted or drilled rotors can also help reduce pad material build up. Not as much and issue with "gas evacuation" these days.
