Your pads shouldn't be messed up from that. Did you clean up all of the excess grease when you greased the pins? A tiny bit anywhere can make them squeek. Did you clean the new rotors off well with brake cleaner or carb cleaner?

if you used crappy pads (autozone specials) they will squel. and if you didnt grease the anti rattle clips the squel
