Faster film speed is almost always better all else being equal. It
allows
use of faster shutter speeds with same aperture/DOF.
The only time shutter faster speeds are a problem
is if you end up needing a speed faster than your camera's
top speed or you actually want to blur motion, both of which are very
rare situations.
The faster film speeds HELP/IMPROVE nearly almost all of the time.
In this instance, all else is not equal.
Unless, of course, your esthetic doesn't extend to the grain structure of the film.
For those of us whom this does matter......
