From your post, i know you love low ISO film and slides.
I am the opposite: for color nothing in the market and my mind beats Kodak 400UC negative film (source: Wmart three 36 rolls of K 400UC ~ 12$), and I pefer Kodak 400 CN for b+w as well. These films have plenty of sharpness, contrast, saturation, speed, and no noticable grain at 8 by 12 inches, especially due to the lenses we use.

Overweight and over here
Well I'm biased towards Ilford - love Delta 100 and 400 and had great results with both. I process my own but have some XP2 to play with because I've heard such good things about it. You've got a couple of weeks to test a roll of each...
