I use mostly 160 nc at work in the 135 format. i am upset that they discontinued the vps series. excellent colour renditions, but the nc is very good. Fuji professional 160 is also very good. has great mid tones and i like the contrast in it. it has a deeper magenta tint to the film base. Konica has made some ground on their proffessional series but I still find the colours have a high separation. sometimes that can be good, but it makes for an image that can seem harsh at times. Give the NC and the Fuji a try. I prefer those two. shoot similar images with both films so you can see for yourself, which film suites the different subjects. I always prefer to do my own comparisons rather than rely on the companies PR. Kodak used to send a lot of their trial films to my lab for testing in the field so I'm used to dealing with their product more than others. Hope my ramblings helped
