I've never run FP4 in Xtol, Roland!.
I haven't shot FP4 in a decade. Xtol I've been using for less than 2 years.
I'm sure FP4 would look marvelous in Xtol like most films seem to.
I still have a few left over bricks of 220 Plus x but have switched to Delta 400
and 100 with both my 35mm and medium format work.
But as Delta 100 does not come in 220 i may still keep stocking and using the
Plus X.
A more brilliant film than FP4 which i think os more strait line.
Smooth and gorgeous for landscapes.
But the "fleshtones" i get with plus x it does not match.

So if your inclined to use FP4 you'll have to come up with your own time which
you'd get after a trial or two.

I strongly suggest 1:3. It should look like slow film and be enlargeable to well
over 11x14 before falling apart.
