I guess I'm a little slow and couldnt get to your answer w/ in 3 hours..

If you're talking about lake country pads, then you would want to apply wax with either black or blue. Both will be fine. I tend to use black though. Your white lake country pad should be used for light, finishing polishes.
And yes, you will need a new 5" backing plate as well.

The white pad that comes on a pc isnt really worth a damn honestly. Its ok if you wanted to put a microfiber bonnet on there, but thats about it. You wont need a new counterweight, the one the pc comes with is fine. That starter kit would be great. Has everything you would need to do some polishing and apply waxes/glazes/sealants, etc.
