Hi,
I definitely wouldn't be going with Portra 400VC, I have noticed it has a
very unforgiving exposure latitude, I found it more unforgiving that Fuji
Sensia 100 Slide film. Also its designed for portraits, so when shooting
normal shots you get some weird colours, light colours look a bit pail and
bright colours tend to look like there blooming.
I dont personaly like supras colours, but i think it probaly would be the
best for your purpose.
Cya
