Will selecting Trade Simulation Mode will all trades be SIM trading regardless of whether I select Trade Service as:

SC Data - all services

or if I select

Teton CME order routing

I have Denali Feed and Teton CME as my routing for real trades. MY question is does it matter which Trade service I have selected when I choose Simulation Mode. Will it be SIM and not real trading regardless if I am hooked up to either routing service above?

I wouldn't want to think I am trading SIM but hooked up to Teton (as that is my real trading service) thinking I am on SIM but am actually executing real trades just because I am hooked up to Teton at that particular moment.

If does not matter what your "Current Selected Service" is set to. When you are in Simulation Mode, you are only trading in Simulation Mode.

But with regards to your last question, if you have the service set to "Teton" and you have Simulation Mode off and you do not realize it, then you will place trades to your live account. So you do have to be a bit careful to ensure you know whether you are in Simulation Mode or not. Refer to the following item in particular that helps with this:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
