sws, you're kinda mixed up. the green pads actually work better at higher temps (tracking) and take longer to degrade the rotors. the standard pads (street) are so soft that they overheat, wear is accelerated, the pad fails, then the rotors get whacked.
basically- if you're tracking, they're a good idea. if you never track, the street pads are fine.
either way the key is how you bed them in- it will extend the life of all the parts if you get a nice amount of pad material to transfer to the rotor during the bed-in process- it gives them better grip, just like how slick tires leave material on the tarmac during a race and times get faster.

on the 996- it is very easy to change the pads. The Porsche motorsport greens state that the pad is for race surface only. I do not bother to change them out and just run greens full time.

997 front pads are very easy to change.
the rear is slightly harder.
