For pads, it just makes life easier to have separate brake pads for everyday and track rather than trying to find something that does it all (and isn't particularly good at either). Personally, I've kept a separate set of pads and rotors for track days that way I didn't have to keep worrying about rebedding as I swapped back and forth. I know some brands, like G-LOC, say you can swap between their street pads and track pads on the same rotors without rebedding.
For fluid, Motul 600 is a great reasonably affordable high temp fluid that isn't hard to find. Castrol SRF is the gold standard of track fluid these days but it's very expensive and overkill for an HPDE. You can daily drive on these fluids but keep in mind that you should give them a bleed before every HPDE and plan on flushing it annually. These high performance fluids absorb water pretty fast and lose their temp resistance so they need to be kept fresh.
Otherwise, my biggest piece of advice is remember that HDPEs aren't a race. Take your time, ease into it, don't drive outside of your ability, and don't forget your point-bys. You'll have a blast.
