We've used several #206S with good results.

edit: 206s not 106s. Apologies for the brain f**t.

Use the the 206S type. They are the best suited for your needs. The 222's were developed for Atlas c55 track and I've not had any experience using them on c80 track. Not sure how that would work out, but I suspect the tolerance on the 222's would not be suited to the Atlas C80 switches.

The need to be encouraged to produce Z scale or a more
uniform to scale N scale product.

Amen to that.
