Actually rail is still faster as there's no jam. Bangkok traffic is super jam one.

Time taken for rail to reach destination definitely faster. Price per trip also much much cheaper.

If family OK, it's still wiser to take rail.

Rail to Ratcharaprop is around 30-40mins if I rem correctly. But just note: Due to the rough road surface, ur luggage wheels might be at risk , try to use pavement path to protect to/fro from Ratcharaprop station.

yup ... Few years back, walked before ...
the pavement is quite rocky ... after that, we no longer take airport rail if we r staying pratunam ...

Their airport rail, if u didnt managed to get a seat from the airport station, most likely u wont get a seat. most people would alight at makKasan area onwards ...
the train is about 30+ minutes ...

road is rocky, distance is about 30+minutes
no seat for you if u queuing behind ...
price is 45b one way per person
if 4 pax is 180b ...
take cab probably 400b to pratunam area ...

one person pay $2.40 more , u can sit comfortably on the cab ...
rather than queuing up for the train, wait for the train to come
train arrives, might not get a seat, have to stand for 30+minutes
reached rajprarop station, have to drag your luggage to find your hotel ...

Depending on your hotel ... how many ppl ,whether can fit into the normal taxi or not ....
klook airport transfer alot of restrictions.
Their cheapest is $27 , not really very cheap for a standard car ...

klook terms:
Standard Car (Toyota Camry): 3 Passengers + 3 Pieces of standard luggage
Standard MPV (Toyota Fortuner): 4 Passengers + 4 Pieces of standard luggage
Standard Van (Toyota Commuter): 10 Passengers + 5 Pieces of standard luggage
The number of passengers and amount of standard luggage should be no more than 6 for car, no more than 15 for van
Standard luggage size is 24". Luggage over 28" will be considered 2 pieces

not really. normally would take innova car not van
you might want to consider taking 2 taxi
or going to tripadvisor and contacting those people who provide airport transfer.
email or fb or whatsapp them to get a better pricing ...

can book drivers at airport?

Doubt so ...
If you want can take a taxi at the airport, or use grab ...
if u have time you can contact drivers listed on tripAdvisor review
normally they charge 700b one way inclusive of tolls for toyota innova

For phuket, at least there would be "drivers" walking around the airport, to ask if you wanna take their car @ 700 to 800b one way ...
