K-25 for landscapes, portraits, general photography where the speed isn't a
problem.  

Velvia for low-contrast, overcast light.  Not for people-pictures. 

Elite-II 100 for general purpose when the speed is required, and
wildlife...pushes very nicely to 200 (I use Kodak in NJ with the ESP-1
envelopes).  I compared it to E100S and SW...it's right in the middle balance-
wise and just as sharp.  Nothing I have been able to see has convinced me it's
worth paying double for the E100 emulsion.

Elite-II 400 for low-light, sports, other emergencies.  The 1-stop push works
well with this film too but don't expect it to look like 100.

Agfa RSX-100 for portraits.  Slightly more saturated than EPN but just as
neutral  I found Astia a tad cool for my liking.

Agfa Scala (B&W)...try some for a change of pace.
