Another FSH-1 question

So I've been searching for some info on this build and there seems to be no consensus on a preferred layout.  It looks like the GGG layout is the "safest" with no ticking problems reported, but takes up more space and uses harder-to-find chips.  The TP layout on the other hand features a more compact design with more practical components and mods, but has inherent noise problems.  I will be starting this project in the near future and as of now am leaning towards the TP layout with hopes to subdue any ticking.  Any insights from people with experience with this build would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
It's more fun to compute.

I built the Tonepad layout and resolved the ticking issue by running a ground wire from the switch to the middle lug on the "speed" pot, grounding it when the effect is bypassed. Works great now.
Consistency is a worthy adversary

Im guessing you're referring to the switch that bypasses the entire board and not the sample/hold switch?  I've read there is ticking when the board is active as well.
