Response to TMAX 400 grainy negatives

I never found a 400-speed B&W film in 35mm which I liked very much. TMY just doesn't work for me (highlights, grain I've decribed as "bad sci-fi"). Delta 400 I found to be similar. I use Tri-X if I want to look retro or use grain. Otherwise, I cheat: I use T400CN. Nice long scale, good grain. Very questionable archival properties, but I rather liked Brett Weston's solution to the problem of archival negatives.
