I am getting into film, after not being satisfied with digital pictures. So, I would like to hear your preferences.
I am shooting the 2 rolls of Kodak 400Tmax that I bought a week ago. The first roll rendered so very good prints. They are very contrasty with a little bit of grain, I like!

Depends on the conditions but for B&W
35mm - Kodak Tri-X & Plus-X – I like Tri-X for low available light and rating higher (1600/3200) and Plus-X when shooting for tone and fine grain in normal lighting conditions.
MF - Ilford Pan F & FP4+ - For medium format I just love Ilford. I feel that I get the best tone and grain with these films.
Sheet - Ilford Delta 100 & FP4+ - Same as above
For Color:
Color Neg
35mm - Kodak 100 UC Professional – Good saturation and grain.
MF - Fuji NPS 160 – Great natural color and very fine grain. Great latitude, this is probably my favorite color negative film.
Sheet - Fuji NPS 160 – Same as above
Color Slide
35mm - Fuji Velvia 100F – High saturation and great for cross processing
MF - Fuji Astia 100F (Velvia 100F if cross processing) – Astia in MF gives a high contrast and great normal color tones. Great for outdoor shooting
Sheet - Kodak E100 G – Cause Astia is too damn hard to find locally in sheet
