One thing I learned was not to use old, dirty, battered used O gauge track. I bought all new stuff at my LHS. I did find that using the 48" straights saved about 25-30% in costs. This is China made stuff. Only thing I would differently is spend more time on the joints- making them smoother. I have a ton of LGB brass track and have thought about hand laying some in standard gauge, I think that would be cool. not sure about the center rail.
