I'm starting to process B&W Fuji Neopan Arcos and Bergger BFP200 in a recently purchased JOBO 3010 drum using a Beseler motor base.

First should I use Rollo Pyro or Pyrocat-HD developer?

For a fixer is Formulary's TF-4 rapid fixer my best bet?

Do I need to fill the drum while it's rotating or can I pre wet at the required temp for 5 minutes then add my developer?

I can't speak about the Bergger, but I get superb results with Acros (and Delta) in a 3010 and Rollo Pyro. Rollo is formulated for rotary development. Yes on the TF-4. If you go with the Rollo kit from Bostick and Sullivan, you'll get precise instructions for use. I don't pre-wet (not really necessary with 3010) and I dont fill while rotating despite the recommendations of many others (yet I still get superb results).
