Analog switching

I've got a project for some modules where I am going to need to be able to 'enable' or 'disable' a signal, or select from A or B based on a level / gate input.

My first thought as far as the analog side goes was the 4066 but then saw the vishay switches that have more voltage range (e.g. [dg1411e](https://www.vishay.com/docs/75104/dg1411e.pdf)), but I also realize I could probably achieve some of this with just some muting, even fairly simply like this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/synthdiy/comments/1gaeqpi/a_simple_input_selector_circuit/) ...

My question is this - anyone had any luck with the vishay chips? They're not cheap that's for sure, I like the simplicity of the fet based muting circuit from the post but am wary that 'it might not be that simple' in practice..

I'd want to be switching these signals possibly at audio rates too if that makes any difference...

Thanks!
