Cross Drilled?

OK, I know this has been discussed to death, but now it's ME who's buying them and I want fresh opinions.

I need new rotors before I do my first high-speed DE in March (my birthday present to myself, btw). I love the look of the cross-drilled zimmermans, but I'm reading they should not be used for the track.

Here is my list of questions I'd like answered:

1) Is a DE event as rigorous on brakes as actual "track use" of the boxster?

2) Can I safely buy the cross drilled and not have to replace them too soon?

3) What pads should I buy for regular city and country driving with a DE thrown in now and then?

4) Should I replace the brake lines (originals on the 104k mile car now) with SS ones?

If you smart wrench-turners can help me out here, I'd appreciate it!

[1/7/08 Clarification: My pads and disks are worn and need replacement. So, this isn't a desire to upgrade for the sake of upgrading alone. I just need to get new brake component and wondered if going to cross-drilled would be ok considering I'll be doing a DE soon]
