If you won't develop Tri-X then I take it you don't do enlarging. In 
that case low contrast is your friend, as scanners are much more 
forgiving of low contrast than medium or high contrast.

I've used various C41 films; Kodak (various flavours), Ilford XP and 
XP2 and Agfa's. All work fine for scanning. For printing I like the 
Ilford XP2 best if I do it myself. Photofinishers generally like the 
Kodak films better.
