My personal favorite is agfa film stock.
On a couple of my favorite films, I have had both an agfa film stock print an an LPP film stock print, as I have found that the AGFA prints are superior in color reproduction. The LPP, while certainly OK, does tend to have a slight to terrible bluish cast, (however, some of that can be due to the film lab work as well).
If I could find them, (or if someone else can) there was a comparison of screenshots from a Derann "Mary Poppins," one on AGFA and one on LPP, and the AGFA was certainly superior.
Also, while LPP has been around since around 1980, and has held up well, I have agfa prints from all the way back into the 60's or so, and these prints are still pristine in color, so at least, there is also the perfect track record for color stability with AGFA that spans at least 50 or more years.
Don't get me wrong though, were happy to have LPP as well!
