Woodland Scenic layouts are designed to be built with Atlas track. You would probably have to modify any other brand of track to get it to fit.Jeff-Atlas makes A True Track with the built in roadbed. Prices are pretty low but selection looks limited.http://www.nhshobbies.com/category_s/72.htm

If you want to go with the preformed track.... Kato seems to win for quality and selection.... but man is it expensive. Probably it is an easy way to have fairly bulletproof track with not too much effort.
But you'll save tons of money using Atlas, and find it's much more flexible for creating a layout like you want. But you can't just plop it together. It requires a learning curve, and your first layout will probably have some derailments. Long run, though, I it's think a better choice.
