I used Tri-X back when I was in the photgraphy class because that what the teacher told to use. It's OK but too grainny for my taste. Much grainnier than the Plus X I used to use as a kid (when I was a kid Plus X was the only film I could afford, Tri-X was too expensive).
In fact when I need to take pictures in low light I use the digital as the noise of digital is much less at very high ISO than film.
My own tastes have changed a bit now after shooting several rolls of Tri-X over the past few years. I know I still prefer 'cleaner' B&W films, but I've learned to incorporate (appreciate) a classic cubic grain in certain genres captured in B&W. To our OP, I also prefer a 'real' film grain over anything added into a digital conversion.
