The new Kodachrome 200, developed for the new disk cameras, is supposed to be even better; it needs to be, since the negative size is smaller than 110. I would love to see it in 35mm.

I am a strong partisan of Kodachrome 64, because of its excellent color, grain, longevity, and because I like slides.

Modern photography compares color films every year, and also did a grain comparison not too long ago; check your library. All the photo magazines are hot on the subject of longevity, so there has been a lot published, and there will be a lot more.
