Nathan - Fine grain and good color balance? What about using it in mixed
lighting?

Doug,

If you intend to shoot in the manner you describe, consider Fuji PJ800. I
have
used it for football (soccer) shots of my son and other situations where
shutter speeds needed to be kept up, and it is brilliant.

As for developing, presumably the pro lab practices more careful process
control, you are less likely to get back scratched negatives (and if you do,
you will have a live person to yell at) etc. I develop my C41 myself these
days.
