Usually people want a simple answer for the type of DCC system to use and there
just isn't a simple best answer.
Both Digitrax and NCE are good full feature systems that give you room to grow.
It is best, if you haven't already, to operate a layout using each system.
The most important questions are:
(1) Do you like one vendor's throttles better than another for the functions
you use? These are what you are using daily.
(2) What do your local model railroad friends use, including those in other
scales? Is one or the other more popular in the area you live? That can be an
advantage if you need help. Of course, if you are a tech type who can read
technical manuals and figure things out for yourself, than this isn't a big
issue.
NEC has the reputation of being the easier to use of your two options, but I
don't think that it is a real issue since Digitrax came out with the DT400
throttles. (More buttons, so there are less multiple keystokes.)
FYI, I've been a Digitrax user since the mid-'90's when I switched from the
Dynatrol analog command control system. The choices weren't a good as they are
now when I started with DCC.
