Paul, In my humble opinion, based on current observation of the scene, that's a choice between -
good v inexpensive trouble free v fiddling & fettling If you really are a virgin, go for the Roundhouse. Once you have some experience, then you can start 'saving money' by trading 'time & trouble' if you want. Believe me, I have been through this & made all the mistakes. Can't really advise re. track. here in UK it would be a choice between Peco & Tenmill. I would advise nickel silver (or whatever name it goes under) for the rail, as brass does not always 'weather' to a nice colour, stainless is bloody to work with, and ally, apart from the non-railway like colour has no 'memory', therefore if you knock it out of alignment it stays that way.
