I would use dcc, ground throws, and undertable switches both. This will make wiring a snap. If you use a prodogy you can install computer ethernet cables (cheap) and plug in as you go around the layout. DCC is the norm now and will gain more and more market share in the future as the conservative members of the hobby finally give up and accept change. Ground throws are great on mains where they are easy to get to, are cheap, and they are almost indestructable. For areas where you need to reach in, esp around brittle buildings and wonderfully landscaped terrain, an under-table switch machine is a must. Atlas machines are cheap and reliable, but others (which cost more) are slower and or last longer. Avoid on table switch machines. They look worse the longer you look at them.
