Don't forget that Atlas #4s are REALLY #4.5s.
This is a big difference. A true #4 really is to small for six axles, but an Atlas #4 is equal to a 22" radius track at it's tightest. Make sure you get the exact measurements form the manufacturer, since they tend to fudge the numbers.
Large radius turnouts may be overkill for your layout. If you can fit them into the space, that is fine, but operationally a medium radius Peco us just fine for just about anything.

I really want insulfrog for the reason that Ed mentioned, I want as little wiring as possible.
