We can all name some of the greatest and most memorable model railroads of all time. Like John Allen's G&D pike operated using DC or Howard Zane's layout using DCC and the list goes on...!
Whatever operating system they used isn't what made these layouts great. It is the combination of the track plan, control panels, scenery, quality of construction, structures, rolling stock, bench work, lighting, weathering techniques and special effects that set these layouts above from the rest. Not whether or not that they used DC or DCC for the operating system.
I compare a DC system and its block control panels similar to a CTC control panel and the dispatcher remotely controlling train movements. Prototypical? Yes!
DCC allows multiable locomotives to operate in the same "block", prototypical. Yes.
It's your choice DC or DCC.
