So far, with a limited experience of installs, I'm preferring NCE and TCS decoders. I'm also seeing that the NMRA 8-pin socket is limiting in the functions it can provide, so I'm naturally going to lean toward locos with 9-pin sockets -- although if it's a prototype with just a single regular headlight, it doesn't really matter, and if there's no other choice, there's no other choice. What this will probably impact will be which locos I put in the lead in consists, where I begin to have a variety of possibilities.
