I have been in the three rail hobby seriously since 1966 and I prefer tubular track. I do have some Fastrack that I use to build a Christmas layout with. It has two pairs of switches and it works pretty well. Some people think Fastrack is noisier, but I have not noticed that. The tubular track is easier to work with, in my view. I can route wires under it easier and, if I have voltage drop problems, but I can easily overcome that with extra lockons and feeders. Also, insulated outside rail sections, again with lockons, can be used to activate accessories such as the #45 Gateman.
