Iv'e been using Tortoise switch machines for years and I love 'em. If you ask me, I'd use Tortoise. They are not only quiet, but gentle. Like was said earlier, some switch machines can damage turnouts over time. I have had to drill holes for the switch machine linkages with the turnout in place, but you have to be careful. Just drill down between the switch points and ties. If you can remove the turnouts, it would be easier.
