Back when I shot slides in the '70's I would buy a 100' roll of Ektachrome and for a long time the labs would return the cartridges and then suddenly they refused because it was too much work. At that point, paying for a new cartridge for each roll made bulk loading unattractive to me.
Bulk loading for 35mm film makes sense if one shoots enough film and processes it themself. Otherwise the cost of the cassettes must be added to every roll.
What is the goal, fast aperture or zoom capability? If zoom capability, short, medium or long? These are individual choices, to what are the various options?
Now that there exists good places and good ways to get 70mm film with the sprocket holes et al, I no longer shoot film enough to support using 70mm film for myself. About 5 years earlier would have made me a convert.
I am sorry to here about the Hasselblad theft. One needs to arrange the equipment to take out of the car, so that one leave the car with the camera equipment one wants and is not fiddling with the door or trunk open going though the camera bag for all to see. You know this, but other readers...

Please explain what you meant, "Out of twenty + some rolls, I had one that was folded wrong at the end, I ended up unloading the camera in the darkroom (Mamiya C33) and have not had any further issues."
Since 2004 I have had a Tamron 28mm to 300mm zoom AF lens and a Nikon 28mm to 200mm zoom AF lenses, one for the color film camera and one for the black & white film camera. Except for the focal length one cannot tell the difference between them. I also carry the Nikon 20mm to 35mm AF zoom lens...
It unfortunately sounds as thought ORWO has scammed you. Prehaps bad mouthing them here may push them to refund the money or provide the film. Unwanted attention can have its positive outcomes or cause a loss of future business.
Wise move not to continue the mathematical progression. After years of motorcycle riding, accident free, I broke my leg skiing, eleven new joints below the knee and six months in a cast up to my hip, skied 8 months and 6 days after the accident but I acquired such a fear of being rear ended...
