I would replace both calipers and hoses, that would cover all possible problems. You might as well do pads and rotors and have a vehicle you can trust for at least 50K miles.

if calipers move freely on their own, ie return to release position after let up on brake pedal, make sure changed pins and greased pins, bleed brake lines, check fluid level, check everything lined up properly, no movement on alignment caliper and rotor, if major scoring replace both rotors
