Both bad. C-41 doesn't push well generally, and the B&W ones do 
better pulled a bit than even shot at their rated speed. I guess if 
you've seriously underexposed some rolls, try pushing, but expect 
ugly, large, mushy grain and no shadow.

Neopan 1600, T-Max 3200 or Delta 3200; even Tri-X an HP5 are much better.
