No, it depends on how picky I want to be.  PhotoKit by Pixelgenius gives 
some wonderful conversions, using channels as filters.  I also have Silver 
Oxide's filters which give the look of particular films - TMax, TriX, 
Delta, and Sepia.  And if I have time, it's fun to play with Russell 
Brown's Seeing in Black and White:

The one I use most often (almost always) now is PhotoKit.  It applies the 
action on a layer so it's always reversible or adjustable.  You get a 
choice of 12 filters.  PhotoKit includes a lot more and is probably the 
best $50 I ever spent on software.  They have their own e-mail list and 
answer all questions immediately.  I have no connection with them, but they 
are Pixel Geniuses and include most of the gurus who write the PhotoShop books:

Hope this helps!
