The gold standard for action slide film is Fuji Provia 400F. It's terribly expensive, but it's the best hgh-speed slide film ever created. If you wanted to try some B&W I'd recommend Kodak's Tmax 400 or Ilford's Delta 400. Bright sunlight often leads to harsh shadows, and these two films are less contrasty than many other 400 speed films.
For color prints, Kodak's Portra 400VC would be a good choice, as would their "High Definition" 400 speed film, if you like less saturated colors. If you expect to do enlargements though, and bigger than 8x10, I'd choose Fuji Reala. It's 100 speed and is great for color and has very fine grain.
