I'm getting my best general B & W conversions from Adobe's Lightroom beta.
If you have money to spend, Alien Skin Software's Exposure is really great. It not only does B & W conversions, it lets you emulate the look of a bunch of specific film stocks. If you like the Tri-X look, this software app will let you mimic it very effectively. Go to: http://www.alienskin.com You can download demo versions of their software that are fully functional for 30 days.
