Specifically, Fuji Provia 100F has fairly good sharpness and color fidelity, less saturated than Fuji Velvia. And Fuji Provia 400F is simply the best high-speed slide film there is, period. I still prefer Kodachrome 200 but when that extra stop is needed I shoot Provia 400F without any reservations.
