I like Fugi's Provia very much too.  As Bob mentioned ASA 100 films and
lower are usually better because they're not as grainy.  If you're using
Kodak films, Ektachrome tends toward the green, while Kodachrome is better
at reds and blues.  The big problem with Kodachrome is that it has to be
developed by Kodak, so if you need a fast turn around on your photos, don't
use it.

If you need to shoot with faster film, there is one that is absolutely
astounding in quality, although it is print film rather than slides.  It is
Fugi's new 800 Super G Plus.  This  film is remarkable not only for it's
lack of grain in a high speed film, but also for it's excellent color.
