Which is your favourite 35mm B&W film?

Sepia - relying on informed ignorance as I have not used any of these developers, I have read that Neopress HC is supposed to be similar (if not identical) to Kodak HC110 and Ilfotec HC.

I've been doing a lot of travelling for business and have not had time to set up to do my own chemistry, but I am saving certiain rolls of film until I can because I don't like the results my local lab gets with Xtol - Efke KB 50 for example.

With all the sun we are getting here lately, and the cool temps I am doing more daytime outdoor shooting than usual - guess it is time for me to try the FP4, PanF and even the Efke 25. What are folks' favorite developers/dilutions/times/ agitations for these films?
 
Another vote for Neopan 400 and 1600. :D

I just got back the results from a roll of tmz3200, and it basically confirms that I like Neopan 1600 more. It's not that tmz3200 is bad.. very nice grain, but Neopan has the grain and retains more detail..

I must confess that I'm not seeing that image as a selling point for anything but TMZ3200 :)
