Ill throw in my opinion, for what it is worth. I use all Fastrack 072 switches with Lionel O tubular track. Yes, it did cost a hefty price to replace all of my switches with Fastrack switches, but they just work much better especially with newer locomotives. as for the tubular track, well it works great for me. I make my own cross ties and ballast it and it looks good. I am curious about the noise suppression? I like the noise, trains make a lot of noise in real life...right?
