I have been using Micro Engineering code 55 and do not have experience with the Peco in order to know how it fares with the various brands, but possibly it might be better than other code 55's since it doesn't have to rely on the molded tie plates to hold the track down (i.e. thinner/smaller tie plate detail, which doesn't stick up into the flangeway as much).
