Ed, I vote for having no team-track.
I considered having a team-track on my layout, but I realized that it ruined the appearance of an industrial spur, like you have said before, team tracks are normally found around freight yards or are a major industry by themselves.
Including a team-track is a great temptation, but I think that replacing it with another industry such as a lumber company would help the spur look more prototypical.
But in the end model railroading is about what makes you happy, and if a team-track makes you happy then go ahead!
