IMO opinion the use of Xtol as your developer widens the films available as
strong possibilities.
Xtol seems to make just about any film perform well.
But it has gotten me using Tab grain films as the sharpness is really being
brought out
and the older styled films are a step down in sharpness in comparison.
But this is more an 11x14 issue.
