Until you beocme hard core track whore, don't sweat it. The stockers should get you through your first School as long as they are >50% and you bleed/flush before you go.

As long as you can bear some noise, we should be able to find a winter/street/autocross pad, then a track pad if you get into it. When that happens, you might end up with a track/autocross/street, and a street/winter. I haven't pulled the Stoptech Club specs (Basically porterfield R4 pads) out since I put them in. They are noisy, and suck when cold, but I know that and am willing to live with it. I proably wouldn't if it was my daily driver.

If you want to avoid rebedding, just have 2 sets of rotors, and 2 sets of pads... only probably takes 5 or so minutes per corner to do both instead of just pads.

Oh, and you are unlikely to need more than one type of rear pads. A set of decent street pads (R4-S, HP+, Greens, etc.) should work for all conditions until you get wicked fast at the track...
