Kim,
I have been happy with Professional Ektachrome 200 for this kind of thing. I 
understand it pushes nicely from 200 to 400 or 800, but I have only shot it 
at 200.

Here's a scan (SS4000) from this film:

(Copy and paste link to the address line and make sure your monitor 
reproduces a good gray scale or the shadows will probably be too dark.)
