It is a balance that each individual has to consider based on their ability at the track and the amount of track time vs street time.

Totally depends on the car and the pad.
My RC6 are a pretty hardcore track pad but they bite just as hard when cold as I could possibly want.
That said, I've never driven with them in the winter, so I really don't know how they'd be below 60-70 degrees for the first few stops, YMMV.
