Shel,
The Royal Supra films are my first choice when I need prints
(the Supra 400 is my favorite, and I use a lot the 200 too).
Still there is room for some Fuji products, like the Reala or
the Superia 1600. I miss a lot the Royal Gold 25... :-(
Other color negative films I prefer are the Portra; the 160 and
the 400 (in 135 and 120) are my main wedding films.
The T-400CN is the 'only' film in my Yashica T5. Other true B&W
films I use are also Kodak (TMAX 100 and 400, although this one
not so often as in the past). I recently started to use again
the Tri-X, after many years of HP5 (which I still like a lot).
Until Kodak released the Ektachrome G and GX I almost didn't use
their slide film (apart from the occasional E200 and E100VS),
but I still burn more Fuji slides.
BTW, the Fuji negative films are more expensive here than the
similar Kodak products, while the opposite happens for the
slides. Don't know if that's true only in Naples, though.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
