I am using Gargraves and Lionel tubular track with some Ross Custom switches. The newer Lionel switches(1992 & newer) don't last long with me before they burn out for some reason. I am a huge fan of tubular track because it can be cut to fit, file off the unsmooth areas and add track pins.
I have noticed some differences with Gargraves and Ross track in the curve diameters, Gargraves curves are a little larger in diameter then Ross curves; example Gargraves 042 curve is closer to 042.70 inches and Ross curve in 042 is closer to 42 inches. Not much difference but can give you a small headache when mixing track brands if looking to match the curves very closely.
I tried Lionel's Fastrack and got rid of it very quickly! Had electrical issues and not good for free lancing a layout besides being loud when a train passes over it. My local hobby shop owner told me the Lionel Fastrack switches have issues, I can't say because I never used a Fastrack switch.
Atlas track looks good but I have not used it. Have heard in the past (about a year ago)there were issues with supply of Atlas track, not sure if that is still an issue.
