I am going to replace my stock wheels and was wondering if there is really any reason to use 19 inch wheels versus 18s. I see that 18s I would be able to rotate them, the 19s are staggered and much more expensive.

18" wheels can also come staggered.

I meant the 19s I was looking at are staggered, the 18s are not

You can do either 18s or 19s in staggered/non staggered so that is not an issue. The 19s will be a bit rougher in ride but other than that, you can potentially rotate both setups if they are non staggered.

19s have about the same ride as the stock 18 RFT, and I might say they are probably a little softer..and depending on the tire have WAY more grip. My Traction Light used to come on all the time...now it doesn't.

19 cost more and are more liable for damage by bad roads/potholes, but they look a bit nicer, so it really depends on your pocket mainly and whether you want the extra bling, which is nice. 18 are great for these cars but 19s look even better.
Check out the link in my sig, I have staggered 18 aftermarkets.
