a neophyte seeks advice on bl & wh film and processing

I am interested in experimenting with black and white.It's been years since I have used it and I will NOT be developing it myself.Any suggestions for a film to begin with for varied usages,ie.landscapes,architectural,portraiture?Also developing?Are ther any good mail in developers or should I depend on a local independent? My last roll of bl,&wh. came back with a terrible blue look. Thanks for any info and advice!
