The experts might disagree, but I actually don't find much difference in the
latitude offered by the different film types. Color cast is different, but
all that is handled in Photoshop anyway. For the record, I prefer Fuji NPH
400 for shooting 120, but for 5x7 and 8x10 I'll settle for whatever is
available (and I don't worry for a moment about using cheap, outdated
product).
You are absolutely correct about the ease of processing. It's very
convenient to just hand this part to a lab, something I never did with B&W.

Very persuasive -- and probably easier to get color lab processed these
days than b&w if one wishes to farm it out. But what film do you use?
Surely all are not equal...
