I like the Fuji NPC 160 so far, so that may be my leading candidate to replace Supra. No doubt Fuji will release some improved version that will require different color balances. I make my own prints in a home darkroom with a Fujimoto CP31 processor, and homemade chemistry. I have mostly been printing on Fuji Crystal Archive Type C paper, but I am starting to use Kodak Ultra Endura for some of my prints on 11X14" paper, to make lower contrast subjects pop. See below for films/conditions used for the four CZ Planar images.
