I will use most any projected coordinate system to get along. Last few years while on continent I used the following:

NAD 1983 State Plane (FIPS by region). Sometimes use the 1927 State Plane system. For projection, I prefer the Lambert Conformal Conic Central Meridian of -91.33333333 with Standard Parallel of 29.30000000 & 30.70000000. My latitude of origin is 28.50000000. Geographic coordinate system of GCS North American 1983. Datum: D North American 1983.

I work in either meters or international feet. Sometimes work in US feet in north America. Back in the day, cotton rows.

Make real time adjustments for the wobble of the earth. In this regard, stay locked to particular stars for tracking.
