As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder with this issue. Atlas looks more prototypical, the solid rail is nice (and it is nickel-silver, which doesn't tarnish, but also won't work with magna traction if you care). Atlas at times has had supply problems and they have the typical supply chain with China. Gargraves and Ross are made here and haven't had supply problems. Ross has one big advantage over Atlas, they offer a lot more varieties of switches and give you all kinds of options in terms of switch machines, wired/pre wired, curve versus straight switches, crossovers, yard switches, etc.
