So it sounds like if I switch to PFC 11 I will have more initial bite, cooler temps, but faster wear and it doesn’t sound like anyone is having issues with squealing on the track (street of course, but not a worry for me).
Please confirm or correct me.

Listers,
First track day day with the new 997.2 Carrera S and had a great time getting back to the track. Historically I ran Pagid yellow or black, but thought I would give PFC a try with their easier bedding process. Well, they performed fine, but even once bedded and up to temp they squealed like a pig at every brake zone. The rest of the setup is stock calipers and cross drilled rotors.
I haven’t read of many others dealing with such squealing issues on the track and am wondering if I can do anything to address it as it is a bit distracting and somewhat embarrassing on the track. What alternatives are there for me?
thanks,

If PFC's are squeeling, you're not getting them hot enough. You have to really get them to temperature--stop hard and release smoothly after long straights. I've run the pfc compounds for years on a variety of p-cars with stock rotors, and even without spiders installed they're quiet on track, provided I get them hot.
If you're kind of tentative in the brake zone, they're noisy as heck, as they are on the street.

What bedding process on pagid? If new rotors or using a different compound should be the same for all pads,
but if your just throwing new pads on the same rotors.....bringing them up to temp in a typical easy way, aka braking a little earlier for the first 3 or 4 laps and being sure not to drag the brake is all that is needed.....got this from a pagid tech trying to figure out best compounds.
check your temps at the caliper and rotor and compare PFC to pagid....may help in your decision (alcon caliper temp stickers and rotor paint)
