Interested in looking at DC walkaround throttle systems for N scale. I know of MRC, any other recommendations?

Aristocraft made a wireless one that was all the rage with NTRAK back before digitrax got big.

DC - here's my throttle of choice:

http://www3.sympatico.ca/kstapleton3/851.HTM

i used this for my HO switching layout for nearly a decade without a single issue.  best $$$ i ever spent on a throttle.

i still have it and will never part with it - i'm that fond of it.

My club uses the Aristo ones, and the deceleration are somewhat prototypical. The stopping can be a bit difficult to get used to, but its a reliable simple system, with accelerating, decelerating, and emergency stop buttons.
