I've used TMZ and Delta3200 out to EI25,000.  Once you have your
development times calibrated to the speed and light, they are very
flexible.  I typically affix Noctilux, meter the light, and figure out
what I can get away with in terms of shutter speed, then set ISO
accordingly.  Past 6400 they get grainy and lose sharpness, but not as
much as you might think.

One thing to watch out for is that the latent image of these films is
not very stable; you need to process promptly, and store carefully
between shooting and develoing, or you get a perceivable loss of
quality.  This is inevitable with the nature of the materials.
