Frederick,

I think this is the kind of question, that if you ask 100 photographers what 
they like you will get 100 different answers.  Personally Agfa APX 400 in 
Rodinal is one of my favorite combinations for 35mm.  I like the grain a lot. 
 The acutance and tonality are also a good fit for many of the kinds of 
photos I make.  APX 100 in Rodinal is my sheet film combination at the 
moment.  I'm still learning all it can do.
