If you're just starting back at it, why not try develop and inspect them with a green light as you go?

If you want to tray develop, and are happy to process only a small number of sheets (eg 4) at a time, I recommend buying/making a slosher tray. That is quite a nice way to keep the sheets separated throughout, and the slosher tray can be lifted from one process tray to the next without handling the wet film at any stage.

I have tried most cans, tubes except JOBO
I refuse to buy and use very expensive German plastic
I cannot shuffle either, bent mechanic fingers
I did Ziploc but hate the wasted bags, twice
I often do one film in 3 trays if it is very rare very old plates or film
I prefer Dip and Dunk on KODAK film/plate holders
or GAS Burst on Hangers
We have a Canadian member who uses one tray for ULF
He teaches Photography

I also process all sheet films in open tanks, though I manually agitate (wearing skin and eye protection). For conventional development, I use the Kodak framed hangers. For (semi)stand and EMA, I use Kodak pinch hangers to minimize any contact between hanger and film.
I do this regardless of developer, other than PMK which cannot be used for extended development, so I use only the framed hangers there.
