I've only used a couple of rolls, so not enough to have an educated opinion, but neopan 1600 seems really good to me.
I'm learning the hard way that if you are going to take photos indoors in poor light, then your results are going to be compromised. This it seems is when I take most of my pictures.
Learing to read the light that is availible is half the game it seems. I have often found myself shooting everything wide open at f2 and the shutter speed is creeping down to 1/30 or 1/15 and I just know that I cannot shoot handheld pictures of people without a lot of motion blur on that basis.
Push developing and faster films help but only by a couple of stops. When I can get enough light to stop down to about f4 and use 1/60 or 1/125, I know my results will be that much better. This has led me to using mostly at least 400 asa in the winter or inside during the day and at least 3200 or 6400 at night.
