I mostly use Lightroom as well. I have a number of presets that I've created from studying the "film" presets in Nik Silver Efex to simulate range of B&W films inc Pan F, APX Pro, Ilford Delta, Kodak Tmax (probably my favourite for street photography) FP4, Plus X, HP5, Tri X plus a few of my own cooking which I call Landscape, Portrait & Portrait Contrasty

I still use Silver Efex (usually from Photoshop) but I think you can go straight from RAW without having to create a jpg - you certainly can from Lightroom & it returns a tiff file
