I like what Kodak used to call warm brown. It is a deep chocolate brown almost hard to tell from black. The tone is proportional to image density with the blacks changing the most. You need a warm tone paper to make it work.
I hate orange sepia color.
Cool is sometimes good for seascapes or some mountains.
I did blue toner on Poly Contrast back in the day.
Gold toner is also nice.

Ilford Warmtone RD Pearl finish in Sprint chemistry and then selenium toned. I settled on this some years ago and stick with it for the results I like. It's consistent, and can go from sightly warm to a nearly neutral black depending on how it's developed and toned. Gives marvelous split tones with selenium.

I really miss Agfa Portiga Rapid warm tone paper. The blacks were a rich dark chocolate. And the borders were white rather than cream like so many of today's warm tone papers.
