Best exposure & developing combo for Delta 400

I'm trying to find the best "standard" exposure and developing combination for Delta 400 in 35mm format that suits me. The aim is to achieve sharpness, speed and low grain (surprise, surprise!). I know there is no such thing as a "best" or "standard" anything in B&W and that it is very much a personal thing, but I'm open to ideas to try and find such an animal. At present my standard is to expose at 200 ISO, develop in perceptol 1+3 at the time for 400 ISO minus 25%. Are there any comments on this combination as well as alternatives? Many thanks!
