Plus X is still my film of choice in the 100 speed range, and I use D-76 1:1
for nine minutes. The film has a very linear density plot this way, and is
nearly as fine grain as Tmax 100.

These are MY times in My tanks, using My agitation, printing on My enlarger
(Diffusion head), so any other suggestions are THEIR times, THEIR tanks or
whatever, and THEIR agitation and enlargers.

I have found four-year old Plux-X has a slight bit more fog, and slight bit
less D Max, but very printable.
