Digital BW, The Print

I'm not sure I entirely agree with the new Tri-X being flatter, but that 
might be more because of lack of testing of the old one (I didn't really 
"do" testing when I first started out in B&W) than anything else.  I am 
shooting it at a slightly lower EI than I used to (I've been leaning 
towards 250 rather than the 320 I used to shoot with) and have had to 
decrease development time a tad to compensate. But I don't otherwise feel 
the film is flatter.

I haven't had to modify development times by much, and using the old times 
is a great starting point.
