I have used both Shinohara and Atlas code 83 on the mainline and sidings. I find the Atlas is just as good as the other and after you ballast the track, you can't really tell the difference. I've used Shinohara turnouts but am slowly replacing them with hand-laid ones. It is not as difficult as it seems and you can make them whatever size you want. This is particularly helpful on curved turnouts. Also there is less problems with DCC. <br /> <br />I used Atlas code 100 in my hidden staging areas for three reasons; there are less derailments; it's cheaper and I can use Peco turnouts.
