Jim,
     I personally like to use Kodax Max film.  It seemed to work well with
many different exposure times and different lighting.  I had no idea what
lighting or settings to use, so I just tried a bunch of different things in
hopes of getting at least a couple of good shots.  They ALL came out good.  I
tried 100 speed film as suggested by someone and got poor results, so I will
stick with the Kodak Max.
Mike
