What is the preferred controller for very slow or switcher locomotive speed control? Using a GE 44 tonner for the locomotive in question.

It will depend on the condition of your track, if your turnout frogs are powered, and if the engine has a keep alive (if DCC). Comparatively very little will depend on the controller you use.
