Medium to High Contrast Film + D-76 / Rodinal

[afrank]

Hi all, I was thinking of gifting myself some new film for this Christmas,
and was trying to look for a good 200-400 ISO Bulk Film in my ~45eur(50$?) budget.

My developers are Rodinal and D-76, using a rotatory CPE with bit low and normal speed settings.

Which of these would be a good option for high contrast curves with mid-low grain using my developing setup?

Fomapan 400
Fomapan 200
Rollei Retro 400S
Rollei RPX 400
Agfa ASP 400S
Rollei RPX 100 Pushed!
Rollei Retro 100 Pushed!
Kentmere 100 Pushed!
Fomapan 100 Pushed!
Fomapan 200 Pushed!

FOmapan 200 was my Default Choice so far...

IME Foma 100 wont get you to 200 no matter how hard you push. It does get contrasty FAST if that what you want.

Naturally high contrast and small grain? Pan-F is $50+postage for 100 feet of 35mm at B&H. Looks gorgeous in Rodinal.

Fomapan can be contrasty too but it is quite crunchy compared to Ilford offerings in the same speeds, not to mention it's about 2/3 stop slower than advertised in most developers. Think of the Fomapans as requiring a 1-stop push to achieve box speed and they really struggle beyond that point. They mostly get more contrasty without gaining much shadow detail.

Thanks all, I understand that contrast/speed increase gives grain, I was looking the one of those that gave the least with decent contrast.
What about the rollei speeds?
Why is PanF from Ilfrod so below the price of the deltas? Cant seem to find a supplier in EU for it tho...

Rollei 400S seems contrasty enough on rodinal. http://www.martinzimelka.com/pages/Rollei_Retro400s.html
Has anyone had experience with the mentioned light leakage sensitivity with this film?

Thanks for the Info. I am still trying to find curves to compare them more fairly.
