I never tracked my S2000 or BRZ with stock pads. Read a few horror stories about them falling apart from the heat; put Carbotechs on both of them. I still haven't tracked my Cayman yet (horrible, I know) and while I think the stock OEM pads might be okay, I plan on using Pagid Yellows. The first track I plan on taking her to is a pretty fast one.
The braking upgrade alone seems like enough reason to buy an STI over a WRX, if one plans to attend track days.

Yeah I wouldn't track the BRZ/FRS with stock pads. I had a bit more confidence in these, since they're Brembos. They definitely aren't bulletfroom though.
Can't comment on the S2K since I've never driven one very hard, BUT if I were to buy a car strictly for weekends and track days, I'm 95% sure it would be an AP2.
Yeah, I bought the STI after growing tired of spending so much money modifying cars. I wanted something more complete from the factory. STI is a great platform. It can use a couple small things, but other than that, I think it's solid as is.
