I want some track day pads but I would like to be in the $100+/- range. So far I'm only planning on running at Sebring or Homestead at the moment - mostly Sebring.

Those are street pads, and completely unsuitable for track duty.
Expect to spend closer to $200 for a set of FRONT race pads.
If you want to try to get away with a set of hybrid pads, a set of front and rear HC+800 is close to $200; we have them in stock.
As long as you wipe off dust immediately, modern race pad compounds are not corrosive. Don't buy older stuff like Cobalt XR2 or Hawk Blue. Those will etch onto the wheels.
