F76 or another liquid for Ilford trad-grain films?

Related to your excellent reply,

Sometimes the problem with dilution H is that people use it in tanks that are too small to ensure there is enough developer concentrate in there to avoid developer exhaustion.
Based on Kodak's capacity recommendations, you should have at least 378 ml of dilution H in your tank for every 120/135-36 roll.
I've had good results from Jason Brunner's 1+ 49 dilution for HC-110, which is effectively the same as dilution E (1 + 47). You can find more info here: https://www.photrio.com/forum/resources/hc110-made-simple.220/

By way of follow-up on using higher dilutions of HC-110, the following site, https://www.covingtoninnovations.com/hc110/, should provide users of HC-110 lots of invaluable information, minimum dilutions in particular, as well as formulas for adjusting times based upon temperatures, etc.

I've been using DDX 1:9 via rotary development for HP5 + have been very happy with the results. And the concentrate has a long shelf life.
