Shoot in colour, adjust in PP.

Shoot at Hi ISO or just add grain afterwards in software.

Take a look at 'NIK Silver Efex Pro'

Grainy b&w? Shoot film.

I would avoid shooting b&w with high iso in camera and just adjust it for that look later using your editing software. It will give you much more options for getting the exact look you want.

Agreed, digital high ISO noise looks very different to film grain. The best way of course would be to shoot HP5+ and develop in somiething like rodinal, that would be nice and grainy!

DxO Film Pack. Apply the grain in post.

Grainy b&w? Shoot film.

Push FP4 to 1600 and don't use a grain reducing developer.

Film all the way!

I would try to add it in post like others have suggested giving you more freedom rather than intentionally getting digital noise. The film grain slider in lightroom works quite nicely, but haven't tried printing any images where I've used 'film grain' so not sure if it prints well yet.

I also went through a stage of trying out 'push processing' on digital by effectively underexposing my shots by two stops and then overexposing in lightroom to get the film grain look. That worked to a certain extent but not as nice as push processing on proper film!
