replace one rotor (not the pair)?

I have one rotor that is warped. The other one is fine. Am I supposed to replace the pair or is it not really a big deal?

for most street applications, no issue replacing just one rotor.

If you replace just one rotor, you mess with the bias.

For another $20, you can get the same braking power on both front wheels. Personally, I like to have both front wheels bite the same.

does wider rotors really give you more breaking power?
