Not a thing wrong with the old Revell track, it is a good choice and to all of us that old plastic has a real nostalgia look to it. It's what most of us started with in the 60's. Don't be afraid to make pieces of track the size you need. It is no big deal to cut pieces in half and glue them to another piece so you still have factory connections and plugs on each end and good connections. Many of us have done that a lot to make track pieces fit a design that factory pieces wont let you know.
Controllers, Pro Motor is the standard and you want to get positive polarity and wire your track as positive polarity. Plenty of diagrams on the net. If you want to go a little cheaper, watch Ebay for some used Parma controllers. they still work fine. Polarity is no issue with resistor controllers. Not sure what cars you will run and what ohm controllers you should get. The other guys here would know that better than me.
Here are pix of some track cut to fit and glued back togehter.
