Jonte,
From my point of view, you've answered your own question. If this is to be an operational switching layout (which I assume it is) functionality in trackwork will come before appearance. With the Peco Code 83 North American style, the appearance only suffers a little. But trying to create a reliably running switching layout to Proto:87 (for example) will be much more of a challenge - not impossible, but requiring more emphasis on trackwork and rolling stock than you might care to commit to.

Wise words indeed Andrew.
Thank you.
