Default Which pads for the track?

So my 1st track day with the Z is coming soon. I currently have:

-BC BR series coilovers
-SPL rear camber arms
-0 toe all 4 corners, -1.4F/-1.7R camber
-Berk HFC's
-F.I. catback (12" res., C.F. mufflers)

going on the car before track day is:
-Stillen race oil cooler, with some kind of thermo plate
-track pads
-Motul RBF600 brake fluid

I am torn on what brake pads to buy for the track. When I started tracking my 05 STi years ago I started with Ferodo DS2500's. They worked for a while but on my second set, about 1 year after I began doing HPDE/Time Attack, I needed a higher temp pad. I jumped to the Performance Friction PFC-01's (rated up to 2000 degrees) and used those until I traded the STi for the Z. The 370Z's brakes being much bigger than the STi's, am I still going to need 2000 degrees of safety with a pad or would I be ok with the Carbotech XP10's rated at 1650 degrees?
