I wondered which yeast to use,I've only been using dried yeast so far,Ive got some Gervin Ale Yeast,some S04 and some US05,but was wondering whether there were any others anyone would recommend.

P.S. Late change to plan,I'm going to split the wort and add vanilla to half,will this make a difference to the yeast?
 
As well as Whitelabs London, WLP002 English and WLP 005 are both well suited for porters. All 3 are excellent.
