Looks great - I like the gib strip - that's a clever addition. As for drilling your track with indexing holes if you go that route - I've tried to drill accurately spaced holes in aluminium bar a few times and always failed due to either poor marking or wander. If I were to try it again I'd make every mark off multiple references before I drilled a single hole to ensure the spacing stays consistent and parallel to the edge. Else I'd find someone that can do it with a CNC.
This bar can be seen as an indexing system in one of my other jigs that I made for making box joints - here's the vid link if you are interested -
