Flextrack choices

Hi, I'm soliciting opinions about HO nickel-silver flextrack. What brand do you prefer? Any brand you don't like? Thanks. :)
 
I vote for Code 83 Atlas track which you can't beat for ease of installation and appearance after painting and weathering. ME (Micro Engineering) is well detailed with smaller tie plates, but has a habit of the separating of the rails from the ties on curves. The ME company is for sale.

I have used Walthers turnouts, Code 83, and Peco turnouts, also Code 83. Both good products. For flex, Atlas, either 100 or 83, and Peco Code 83. All good. Rail profiles are slightly different, so the joiners might need some fiddling or you'll actually need to purchase the correct joiners for the brand.
 
I like ME weathered and Atlas flex track, Peco switches, and Walthers bridge track.
I despise whatever the (made in Italy) flex track is that was sent to me instead of the Atlas flex that I ordered.
Overall if I had to choose only one I guess Atlas would be it.
