When I bought my 4"x5" Speed Graphic around 2008, I brought up flash bulbs for various sized from 5 to 22. Once I got them all stored, I have yet to use any of them.

Using the depth of field scale can help if 1) the depth of field scale is on the lens and 2) one is willing to use smaller apertures to increase the depth of field.
I too like punchy and fine grain. I standardized on Kodak Portra 400 in 135 and 120, which is close to Kodak Porta 160 with that extra speed than helps keep the tripod folded up. Maybe I too will do some testing.
