Best software platform for execution

IMHO, you should not worry about these tiny details. IB feed is more than sufficient and suitable to trade with any meaningful frequency and meaningful stop management. Rather, worry more about the trading methodology: one tick more or less is not going to mean anything in the grand scheme of things, if the general approach doesn't work, and the same thing, if it works.

There is another advantage to using an exchange native order. System connection loss. It can happen from you to IB, IB to the exchange. Also when things are disorderly, orders being on the exchange are better because of more reliability, imo.
Although it is a very rare case, it does happen, with surprising frequency, and when it does, these things matter a lot, imo.
