Wood or Foam for track buildup...


I have all the track I need and the layout/design I have is set. Next question is, Im going to have a double truss in my layout. It is a 4x8 layout (due to space restraints). Should I build the track up by using foam or with wood? I need to raise it approx 5 inches in the air, and have a canyon (not really a canyon, just a slop down in the middle for the town) Should I use foam, or wood to build this up? Im wanting to use undertable switches, so ive read that it is best to use those on wood. Just trying to get some input on which I should do and what would be the best. Ive looked at alot of peoples layouts on here and it seems kinda split. Thanks
 
I went with 4" of DOW Squareedge on 3/4" plywood, and glued the track on top. I find that the lack of a solid surface underneath the track bad when trying to put something down (like ground throws) without the ground throws moving around.
