Whether you choose standard train track or roadbed track is over to you and your personal preference. It also depends on the nature of your model train set layout and what looks best, works best and what fits with your budget requirements.

When using standard tracks on a model train set layout, seperate ballast is laid. Whereas, the plastic roadbed sections look like real railroad ballast and feature interlocking tabs that help hold the train track sections securely in place.
