If you are not overclocking use the thermal pad. It lasts better over time (according to AMD) Once the pad is exposed... put it on right away.. dust or exposure to the air can react with the pad (or compound) and make it less effective. Once it's done it's done. There may be some temperatures fluctuations the first few days as the stuff sets in.
Burn-In Period is where you push all the hardware to the limit for a set amount of time. This will make sure you have no weak or faulty hardware. If it does fail then it's still under warranty. And you can get it repalced. Better to find it out in the burn-in period than after your warranty has expired.
