Simple HP5+ and ID-11 question

I decided for now I'm only going to experiment with two developers: PMK and ID-11. I'll pick the one I like best after using up a batch of both. I have a question on the ID-11. I've been to Ilford and the massive development chart. I find no data for shooting HP5+ at EI200. I thought this film was like TriX, the "true" speed is a lot closer to 200 than 400. What would be the starting point to try and optimize gradation, acutance and resolution (roughly in that order - I don't particularly care how much you "see" the grain).

So for those who use HP5+ and ID-11 on a regular basis, what do like for dilution; 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3? What EI did you settle on to optimize the film (ie, without trying to "push" anything)?

Thanks.

John
