I shoot a lot of test films to check out cameras in my collection, either new ones or one I haven't used in a while before trusting it. In recent years I've used Ilford films almost exclusively, instead of Kodak that I used decades ago. This is largely because I find Kodak films (esp TriX) tend to curl so much it affects the scan sharpness on my glassless Epson V700 carriers, while Ilford tends to lie flatter after drying, while I would weight TriX under books for a few days to get good results.
However, since these test rolls are just "tests" and not for show, the cost of film in my retirement years is a bit of an issue. So when I noticed how much cheaper Freestyle's Arista films are I decided to try a bulk roll of their 400 speed. (Which seems to be Fomopan film.) After trying a few loads I'm quite impressed, especially for the price. I find the 400 speed does better when shot at 320 EI and processed normally. I've used both DD-X and Rodinal, and while DD-X minimizes grain, I like the tonality (and cost!) in Rodinal.
What I really like is that the film lies totally flat immediately after drying. So I can batch scan a roll within an hour of starting processing.
This is shot at 320 and developed in Rodinal 1+25, 4m 20s @ 73F. Just a default scan on an Epson V850, Epson scan, no adjustments except downsizing:
