I think most people start with pads since most of us had those for tents. Some people are happy with pads and stick with them. In fact if someone asked me I'd suggest they start with a CCF pad due to the cost savings alone. Once they are sure they are going to stick with it they can always invest more. I don't think you'll get the same rating as for ground use since you are surrounded by air. I've seen a formula for guesstimating what you can get on here but I don't remember it off the top of my head.
