sorry I admit up front I didn't read your whole post since my eyes started glazing over,

BUT, if you don't want to be switching out your pads for every track event, then a decent compromise pad IMO, are the carbotech XP8's. A little bit extra squeal, dust, harder pedal etc, but totally liveable, at least for me, and they will survive a track event no problem. Esp if you are new to HPDE, then as you get faster, you will most likely either a. move to a more aggressive pad and not care how much dust/noise you generate on the street or b. have to switch pads for your HPDEs with a compatible street only pad.
