S for all color critical product shots. And VS for that little bit of pop without being obnoxious: Architecture and gelled-lighing product and industrial shots. I find the shadows much more open with the E100 films and my highlights hold even when shooting outdoor architectural work and biasing my exposures for the shadows.
