35mm film - I use Fugicolor, what do you?

This board is a great idea.
I've been fairly unadventurous about trying other brands besides Fiji. I recently was given a roll of 400 Kodak Max & the results were awful although that might have been due to poor (cheap) processing. I am obtaining excellent results with Fugi 200 but hear the latest Agfa is pretty good. On overseas trip I run off up to 20 rolls of 36 so it is a significant outlay each time.
For the record I use an F100 Nikon (the F5 was too heavy) and have owned an F4, FA, FE. Lenses are 24-120 (brilliant general for use), Micro 105mm (superb for portraits), 75-300mm zoom & f1.14 50mm (rarely used). There are a number of flashguns with the SB28 in most frequent use. My eyesight forced me into autofocus lenses when too much came back out of focus!!
I'm pleased with the F100 although this is the only NIKON which has broken down on me - it had a heart attack in the middle of an Egypt tour wouldn't you know. Fortunately another kind traveller lent me her small f2.8 Nikon and the results came out brilliantly although I missed a few excellent opportunities with no telephoto. After much waiting NIKON replaced the F100 and this one has (so far) performed flawlessly. I guess they have so much in the way of electronics in them at the moment that the possibility of breakdown is much increased.
I'll look at digital soon - they are getting pretty good.
