I have the same BBK but have never used it without the Cantrell kit for cooling too. No issues of excess pad wear. Agree with getting some temperature strips to get some data and would also suggest giving Performance Friction pads a try. I use the 11s and have been very pleased with their durability. Zeckhausen can hook you up among other places and their customer support is very strong.
As for the Cantrell kit, the key ingredient is the backing plates. Once installed no issues. The hoses can wear out over time and I replaced mine after two seasons. The hose can be had for much less $ than buying the kit and is a simple swap when the time comes. They get worn if you turn your wheels to full lock (street car) and just normal wear and tear under a tracked car from debris, etc. They are also held in place by zip ties at various locations and they can pull through even the toughest silicone hoses.
