DCC is a great way of controlling a model railroad. It was actually designed for handling small layouts like yours so I believe you will find it very enjoyable.
The selection of a system is a very personnel choice. The key is how enjoyable you find the control. The look and feel varies greatly between the various systems.
I usually do not make recommendations but in your case I might wait till spring and then choose the new Bachmann system.
I have been beta testing this system and I think it will become a very popular system for small layouts.
Atlas, Digitrax, and MRC are also good choices but will likely cost more.
You likely do not need a high end system such as the Chief, Powerhouse Pro or Lenz-90/100 but these systems offer a lot more than the entry level ones.
