Well, we have 2,5 APS film producers.

Both Kodak and Fuji produce 100, 200 and 400 ISO film.
Konica produces 200, 400 and 800 ISO film, and 800 film is also
produced by Fuji.

Now, my question is (and I would like to put all the answer in a
table:
Which one is the best film, for every ISOage?

i.e., at 200 ISO is best the Kodak, Fuji or Konica film?

Is it always so?

Let's see your opionions...

Here's the easy one: Kodak produces the best ISO 400 B&W film. I have
not found Konica's 800 so I give the nod there to Fuji. Konica 200 and
400 at my local supermarket are half the price of Fuji or Kodak (except
when I buy Kodak in bulk at BJ's) so for budget minded people Konica is
best there. Honestly if I look at the pictures taken on all of them
without the benefit of the cartridge to tell me which was which I don't
know which was which.

So, the color films are more or less equivalent, you tell me?

Fuji's "fourth layer" is only interesting, but not really
revolutionary?

I'm sure you'll find lots of people who swear by one or the other, but
my eye cannot see the difference. I usually buy whichever 400 is
cheapest (of Kodak, Konica or Fuji) for general work, Fuji 800 to keep
in my ELPH Jr for a pocket available light camera (it's a fast f/2.Cool,
and Kodak b&w for b&w.
