If you are inside and shooting something that doesn't move, along with a tripod, I would go for a lower film speed. 100-200. This will allow for a much crisper picture. Otherwise, use a higher speed film. 400-800. The problem with higher speed films is that they are more grainy, and don't allow for drastic enlargements.
A general rule of photography is that you want to get away with the lowest speed film that you possibly can. Like I said before, the higher the speed film, the grainier the image.
Grain is sometimes a nice effect for portraits and such, but generally try to avoid it.
With low speed film, you need natural light. If you ever shoot outside on a sunny day, use a low speed film. If you shoot inside with low speed film, stay near a window.

Also, higher speed film is more exspensive.
