As far as pads, you could most likely get away with running your stock pads on your first HPDE, as long as you keep it pretty slow out there. I think the upgrade to the larger 335 rotor will help reduce heat too.

Then when you want to step up your game in the future, all you'll have to do is order a good set of pads (Hawk, EBC, Ferodo...).

For DSC coding, I never coded for my 335 brake upgrade on my 330, but I do the 3 second press on my traction button when at the track to turn that off regardless.
330 already has different EBD set up as rear brakes are same as 335.
Generally, on 330 it is not big issue as on 328 as rear brakes are bigger. Rear are the real issue.
Here is comparison of pads.
Top pad is rear Brembo from 135 and 328/330 performance package.
Middle 335.
Bottom 328:
