anti squeal pads

Brake job time is coming up and it's the first one I'm doing after buying the car last year. I see you can buy anti squeal pads and I'm wondering if they are needed for my particular application or not.

This is a 99 Boxster and I'll be using Zimmerman coated non-drilled oem rotors and most likely Textar oem pads. Daily driver.

I have about 70k miles on the car. Am I likely to find that the handbrake shoes will need replacing as well or do these things pretty much last forever? I don't use the handbrake as a steering aid, but who knows what the previous owner did.
