Such a claim would be bizarre as EPSG has codes covering the State Plane systems the OP references (and most other 'straight sided' coordinate systems besides). Further, to say that a spheroidal coordinate system is not strictly a coordinate system because it doesn't have straight sides is wrong. A coordinate system does not have to confined to cartesian space. | |

Simply saying stay with projections calculated by USGS keeps data from warping by switching to all of these different projections. | |
