Blues are NOT for the street. I haven't had good luck with the Blacks.
Blacks are an odd little compound. I have been told (by someone whose opinion I respect in these matters) that they are good for medium to high temps, but not good for real high temps. They tend to degrade with repeated high heat cycles.

I'd think again, read my previous response on them, pad fade may well be an issue for you. IMHO, if you're going to the track, there's no point in half assing it. If you're having to go slow because of a mechanical issue, especially if it's because YOU bought insufficient stuff, you'll be kicking yourself and not having nearly as much fun as you could have been having.

My friend tried that, and it ended up exactly like you said. The stopping distance wasn't that bad, but the rotors were ruined after driving 100 miles to and from Sebring.

I've driven my Porterfield R4's on the street a fair bit (to and from the track) and they've stood up fairly well. My rotors are somewhat grooved, but still well within the limits. They're terrible on the street for being noisy and dusty, but they do work and don't totally kill rotors.
