Once every thing cleaned and replace moisture shouldn't be an issue. Because of age and sitting a while, good idea to replace flex lines going to calipers. This is true for the pins and hardware.
On rotors even on "new" I always have them turned. They get banged around with handling. I went through this recently with local parts store. He questioned why turn new but when he did, he told me when I came back to pick up both were warped. New drums I do the same. All you need is to have it dropped while putting on shelf and it's no longer round.
We're calipers fresh built or just pushed back in bore to replace pads? On old calipers it will work but won't reset properly (or might not)...
If you start seeing lots of dust or rust residue on front wheels, that can indicate caliper not resetting properly and dragging the pad when not applied.
When doing brakes for customers I look for loaded pair sets or new calipers. I don't go rebuilt calipers anymore had to many problems with not being properly done. If I can't get new I just get the kits and rebuild myself. This way I can inspect the bore, make sure cleaned, and new seals, etc...
