I'm much the same, shooting about 25 rolls of HP5+ for each roll of anything
else, but here's my list:

1. Slow daylight color print film.
    NONE!

2. Fast daylight color print film.
    Fuji Press 800

3. Color print film for a combination of daylight as
well as indoor artificial light.
    Fuji Press 800

3. Slow color slide.
                Fuji Provia 100 or for some subjects Kodak E-100SW

4. Fast color slide.
    Fuji Provia 400F
    
5. Slow black and white.
    Unsettled with Ilford PanF, Delta 100, FP4 as contenders... Pull The
HP5+

6. Fast black and white.
    HP5+, @ 400, 800

6a. Fastest black and white.
    Neopan 1600
