Forte Polywarm splits with selenium toning.  I normally don't like the effect,
but if that's what you are looking for, you may give it a try.  Sepia toning the
paper gives it a wimpy brownish tone that I find unpleasant.  Obviously, you
need to decide what works for you.

I don't know if Ilford's paper splits as well.  Historically, their papers are
quite resistant to color changes, though their warm-tone is certain to be a much
different paper.
