Thanks for all the advice from everyone.  I've used
FP4+ with D76 in the past so I'm pretty confident in
the results.  I was just curious about other
combinations, especially with Ilford developers.
I've processed Pan F+ in Ilfosol S with great
results.  Ilford also recommends this developer
for FP4+ so I might try it in the future.

For this trip I think I'll stick with D76, but I'll
be testing some other combinations soon.  I used to
process 4x5 sheets of FP4 in XTOL back when I ran
film for a B&W lab but that was several years ago.
Just been shooting TMX since then.

Thanks again!
