I'm kind of odd in this, I suppose, I use a lot of the higher ISOs in general: I like the texture I get in monochrome that way... I haven't really developed a scheme on where which lower ISO is preferable, compared to other concerns, yet, and so far tend to go with similar to what film I'd choose or just crank it down all the way.
I'm very interested in impressions or information on this: I've seen Dpreview's static tests, but I'm more interested in subjective impressions: I'm often pretty sun-sensitive, so I mostly shoot in dimmer or flatter conditions when I can see better: (frankly, when it's very bright I'm usually kind of calculating where exposure ought to be rather than seeing it, leaving myself leeway, and hoping something good comes out of the digital wash) ... still don't have much of a sense of where the qualitative tradeoffs are.
