跡, I think

-----------------

Editor: Yes, and more generally, 迹 is rarely used as a traditional form in *any* compound.
In Chao's "A Dictionary of Spoken Chinese" (1945), 迹 is listed as a less common variant of 跡.

TP results:
迹 - zero
跡 - 1,158
蹟 - 969

So it seems that, of the three variants (迹跡蹟), the *rarest* one was chosen as the 规范字.
(presumably because "fewer strokes, and therefore faster to handwrite")
