Rodinal is pretty familiar, the other two I know but they are not widely available outside Germany.
DDX, TMax or FX39 would be high on my list for Delta 100, but I now realise I've never actually shot it!

Yes, I agree, DDX and Tmax are high on my list. And XTOL as well. The first two are more convenient to mix, though!

Delta 100 in Ilfosol has been my most commonly used film/developer over c.15 years; and although I've tried Rodinal and DDX I prefer Ilfosol with this film--to me, it gives slightly better mid-tones than Rodinal, whereas DDX gives too much speed, yielding negatives a bit too dark for my taste.
But this is all so subjective! Others using the same materials would have different experiences and opinions. As stated above, there's much to be said for sticking to one developer, at least at first, and getting to know it really well. One can then move on if dissatisfied, or bored, or wanting to experiment...
