Xtol was my standard developer when I dabbled in the darkroom, in the
early 2000s.  I used it on a wide variety of film (APX 25 to Delta
3200+) with good results.  I found it easy to work with.  My darkroom
was very warm, and I was able to use diluted solutions (1:2 or 1:3) to
get long enough development times.  In a cooler darkroom, you could
use it straight or at 1:1.  It's an ascorbic acid developer (Vitamin
C) so, as you say, environmentally friendly.  Almost good enough to
drink.
