Unless you're really in to B&W and want to process it yourself etc., I would
go for one of the B&W C41 films (Ilford XP-2, Koday T400CN, Select B+W, ..).
Just get it processed wherever you would go for C41 colour.
Program Mode, I wouldn't bother, just set a reasonable aperature and auto,
you probably want a reasonably wide aperature to limit your depth of field
(f2.8 ?).
Those films have good over exposure latitude, so I might set the ASA dial to
200.
I also wouldn't bother about flash, if you're shooting against the light
(good idea), just set +2 stops exp comp.
