Default T-Track vs. Miter Channel

I am building a miter table and was wondering what type of track I should be installing on the top, running parallel to the fence. A friend insists that I should install a miter channel, so that I can use a miter to make sure I'm perpendicular to the fence when pushing stock through. I notice that most tables have a t-track so that you can attach a feather board to keep your piece close and tight to the fence. I'm not sure how you would use a feather board with a miter channel.

What's the best way to go here? Also, what is the recommended distance between the channel and the router bit and about where the template should be installed? I'm hoping to build a table that is 18" deep X 24" long.

Thanks for any help and suggestions on this.
