Brake Pad Questions

Hi Guys,
Looking at replacing brake pads on my 2001 non-s Boxster, I don't track my Boxster and the only time I drive fast is the occasional spirited drive or when I am seriously late(hardly ever). Do any of you have any experience with the Satisfied Pro Perform OEM Pads? Are they really compareable to the standard pads that come on Boxsters? I have read on other post that the Hawk HPS pads are pretty good but my concern is this, on the Tire Rack Website the Hawk HPS's have this note

"Note: Front brake pads. Note: Does not have cut out for wear sensor."

Should I be concerned about this? Also, is changing the brake pads a job I can leave up to my local grease monkey(there are no other porsche shops in town other than the dealership) or do I need to spend the extra bucks and bring it to the dealership?
