I am in the process of testing films myself. After having been rather dormant in my photography I am just getting around to playing with some of the newer films. In general I don't care much for the heavy saturated films, just don't look natural to me. My current faves are:

Kodachrome 64 (I have shot Kodachrome for years and love it's color)
Agfachrome RSX 100 (Nice neutral color balance - reasonable grain)
Fuji Astia (Very fine grain, again good color balance, not to contrasty or saturated.)

For faster films I am still really searching Kodachrome 200 is very sharp, nice color, but a bit more grain than I would like. The Agfachrome RSX 200 is very nice for it's speed in all respects, but kind of hard to find.
