Best developer for Tri-X?

I am a confirmed Tri-X user for studio B&W portraits with tungsten lighting. I have been using D-76 for years with fine grain results even on 11X14 enlargements from 35mm film. I think this is due in part to strict temperature controls during all phases of developement, from pre wash through foto flow rinse with distilled water. I rarely get even minor flaws or water spots on the negatives. Now my question: Are there any other developers that will deliver better grain or tones than D-76? I do only head shots and portraits so the skin tones are most important to me. Also, any preferences on RC papers for the above uses? Thanks, GA
