Jon C,
Having built layouts with just about all the different manufacturers track and there is lots of good stuff out there, do your home work before you purchase. If you are looking for track that can accommodate all the different O Guage engines and rolling stock, including Tin Plate take a good look at K-Line Super Snap now engineered and produced by RMT, simply great stuff. I also recommend FasTrack with low voltage Command Control Switches, fantastic stuff. Rick O and and others have engineered layouts that are so realistic using it, that there is no longer any argument that FT layouts can be super realistic. I still have my Lionel Conventional Tubular in both O and 027, still great stuff, especially with the older 711 and 072 high voltage switches. All three of these different O Gauge tracks, are great stuff depending on what kind layout you choose to build. If you only plan to run post war and modern O Gauge Trains, IMO Ross is top dog, nothing better engineered to this date, for our hobby. These are the manufacturers track I recommend, they all run DCS and Legacy extremely well also.
Good luck with your new layout and have fun.
PCRR/Dave
