I really doubt you're going to notice any issues with OEM pads first time out. Just make sure there's over 50% left and that your brake fluid looks good.
Otherwise. 10/8's.

There's nothing worse than being on track with faded pads. Not only is it unsafe but, it'll ruin your day. You're going to spend decent money on the event. I wouldn't let pads get in the way. Get the XP10/XP8's and you'll not have to worry for the full day. Even if you ONLY get the 10's in the front, you'll still have a good time with no brake issues.
Does NJMP require a rollbar? My home track summit doesn't. Hell, you don't even need to wear a shirt to run at summit and the rental helmets are like bicycle helmets.

I don't know if that's a good thing...

Speaking only for myself, I've never had any issues just throwing HP+, XP8', or XP10 pads in the calipers, without replacing, resurfacing or even cleaning the rotors.
