I had this dilemma not too long ago... that's because I didn't want to use flash for night street photography... But that's another story... Normally, Fuji Superia 200 gives me the little extra speed I need and the grain is not noticeable... The largest print I do is 6*8 so, 200 will do fine. As for 400 films, I only use them when the weather is really crap... At least it is the much cheaper alternative than shelling out dollars to buy a fast but huge lens...

Hi Shel I often use only a A70-210mm 4.0 zoom on the road and to be on the safe side against shaking I shoot with a minimum of 1/125 or 1/250 or faster without tripod . To get that under most light conditions, I need ISO 400 film, ISO 100 would not work for me. I can use a grey filter for small apertures in bright light, I too prefer a small depth of field mostly. I do not own fast tele/zoomlenses, so I see no other solution than fast film for me. The only fast lens I have is the 50mm 1.2 from Pentax, all others lenses are between 2.8 - 5.6 How do you solve that (analog?) dilemma, with a super fast (expensive) tele or with a digital camera?
