I had a 95 Ram as a second car, that I parked outside and didn't drive every day.
I had a lot of trouble with my front brakes, they'd go bad about every 10K miles. The rotors would look like the surface of the moon, and it became apparent to me that the metallic pads would rust to the rotor while sitting. I tried ceramic pads one year and they helped considerably with that problem! Performance wise they were as good or better. I can't speak for increased rotor wear as I was only getting 10K out of rotors prior to the switch to ceramic!
