I'll be building a router table - mostly a hybrid of several designs I've
looked at. Some people advise against putting in a miter track, suggesting
that one use a router sled instead.

I figure I can do both. Apparently, one can spend a LOT on a miter gauge.
It seems to make sense not to chince out in this area, but spending over a
hundred bucks just for the miter gauge seems a bit too much for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations regarding miter gauges
for a home-built router table?

I would put the track in for feather boards but don't bother with the miter
gauge. The set up time will bore you quickly. I use a square piece of 3/4"
thick plywood that is guided by the FENCE not the slot.
