Most of the guys that I know are getting rid of their 944 track cars. Just not enough of them left. With Boxster Spec (both BSR race and BSX street versions) exploding in size due to the low price of the cars, the momentum is definitely away from the 944 and towards the Boxster.

There are several options for engine upgrades for your base '99 to get more power, but yes, they may be more expensive than the 944 bolt-on options but if you invest in a Boxster track car, there will be a much larger market for the car later when you want to sell it.

If you're worried about a rollover and want more protection without going full tilt and installing a cage, get a Brey Kraus roll bar extension. I'm adding one of these to my car and then going with 6 pt belts and a hans device in the next 60 days to improve safety at the track.
