Peco switches are among the best. Highly recommended by my modular club for use on the main and in yards.
I think the problem you are having is the compatibility between Code 75 and your wheels. Code 83 or the standard code 100 are forgiving of most wheels.
Your stalling issue sounds like the flange is lifting the tread off the top of the rail, breaking the electrical continuity.
If that's the case, code 83 or 100 might be a better bet, or you'll have to look to your wheels.
Proto:87 standards will not solve your problem per se, unless you apply it to both trackwork and wheels/trucks on rolling stock and locos. Applying it to just trackwork will likely make your current situation worse.
Hope that helps.
