Default Film recommendations

I'm thinking of switching from 200 speed Ektachrome to color negative
with the 6x7.
I mostly shoot landscapes and scenics with this camera. I'm thinking
the greater latitude will make scanning and printing easier.
I like the higher film speed since I can hand hold for most daylight
situations and only need to use the tripod for late day or deep shade.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which film to use?
Thanks..

What characteristics are you looking for? High saturation? Contrast? Natural
colours?

You mention high speed so I'd suggest Fuji NPH if you want fairly low
contrast and neutral colours.
With regards to scanning, I've just scanned some 120 Reala and found it
probably the easiest film to scan I've used (Using an Epson 2450 scanner).
