Were I doing PRR still those would be a good option for me (I'd want to actually interlock my switches at the interlockings).  I'm insisting on hand-throwing all my turnouts on the RGS though.  It "feels" more prototypical that way (to say nothing of it being both cheaper and easier to do!).

Oh yeah if your doing hand throws the frog juicer is the best way!

When the engine first enters the frog and completes the circuit, the Juicer senses the polarity and flips it if necessary, before the engine’s controller or the DCC system can detect the short. Juicers can be used for any frog scenario — turnouts, crossings, crossovers, gauntlets.

Thanks Bryan and nickelplate759, that helps much.
