another vote for blue track here. i love how versatile it is. need a curve to go the other way? just turn it upside down and carry on. ditto with standard points. plus, its been around for so long, items like girders, risers, tunnels are all fairly easy to find for not much money.
if you decide to get into the japanese plarail trains, then you will need blue. can guarantee they wont run on the new trackmaster.
plarail is also fairly rapid with releasing new designs... last year we got a number of different disney themed trains, and then last week saw the release to two snoopy trains, not to mention all the bullet and passenger trains also produced in that time frame.
personally, i find blue track [both light blue thomas and the dark blue from the 80s/90s] easier to plan large space taking layouts. trackmaster revolution, i havent done a large build and generally just grab a boxed set when i do want to run it. thats one things in its favour i guess... can build a fairly fun layout with just one set.
