Ilford Delta 100 my favorite. Also Rollei 100 Tonal. Ilford HPS800 and Afga APX100 too, but alas, no more

Kodak "Professional" C41.

Kodak BW/T400 CN ?
Dye based B&W films do not have the same contrast as silver based (real) B&W films.

You should try "real" B&W film ... Ilford HP-5, Delta... Efke ... Kodak T-Max, Tri-X ... if you can get it developed easily.

Interesting idea, I will definitely have to try that. I've been learning (about photography in general, not just B&W) by just going out and taking pictures, and seeing how they turn out. But I'm very interested in taking some actual classes. I feel like I, personally, benefit from a classroom environment.

Kodak Panatomic-X was my favoured B&W film. After it was discontinued I then switched to Ilford Pan-F plus and Agfa APX25 (awesome images with medium format).

And, again, everyone...thanks a lot for the comments, and advice. I'm taking it all very seriously.

If you can find a course with B&W developing and printing, you will really understand how to use that medium.

Yeah, that's definitely what I want to do...learn to develop film myself. It seems rewarding, and frankly...quite fun. After I take the Shooting Techniques class, the next step will be a monochrome class and developing etc.
