For medium format print work I use the Fuji line of professional films. 
NPS rated at 160 is my favorite for portraits where I have control over
lighting.  It has gorgeous skin tones, good latitude and no grain up to
16x20.  

I use NHGII, rated at 800, for weddings and natural light portraits. 
Same beautiful look, not enough grain to notice, and wonderfully
printable negs.

For outdoors, the NPS is a good low contrast, saturated film.  For more
punch, like you're used to with the Royal Gold, Kodak's Portra VC is
good.  But you can also get Fuji 100 in 120 size, and I like that
better.

By the way, the Fuji pro films have an extra dye layer to filter out
some of the florescent green, which makes them great for weddings.  NPS
is a favorite of many architectural shooters for interiors.

Hope this helps.
