For what it's worth, I went with the Atlas system as it is the only track that is solid, nickel silver T-Rail, just like what they have been making for the H O folks for decades.
As far as the switches go, I do not rely on the factory wiring for continuity. I also power the closure rails with relays operated by the shunting of the outside rail by any wheelset. You will have this problem with any three rail switch, regardless of brand. It is simply a factor of how the closure rails must be isolated.
As far as flex track goes, the more flex track you can use instead of sectional track, again regardless of brand, the better looking your track will be, especially if you stagger the rail joints.
It is my personal opinion that when battery technology reaches a certain point, on board power will be the new norm and the center third rail will be history. You will already be into the best scale.
Good luck and have fun!!
