Jim,

ASA 4 or 5 would be good. At that speed and given that you may find 
it difficult to fit thick printing paper in the film holder, why not 
try lith film? Same sort of speed and you can develop it to give 
continuous tones.

Have a look at Cor Breukel's excellent article on this very subject 
at http://www.f32.net/cgi-local/discus/show.cgi?93/103

Lith film in the US is inexpensive.

HTH
