Most modular groups go with code 100 rail, to accommodate some members with older locos or rolling stock, with larg flanges on the wheels.
Snap track / sectional track, as stated, is very limiting.
Flex track, by most manufacturers is pretty much the same all round, so, if there's no manufacturer specified in the module standards, go with what is easiest to find, or if there is a selection, the least expensive.
On my new modules, the "two track main line", is Atlas code 100. The dual gauge line is ME code 83, with a hand spiked code 83 rail for the narrow gauge added.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
