Change the times, start by reducing dev times by 10%.
In general, TriX, like any B&W film, will give better results with pulling. So, shooting at 200, developing 15% less than normally.
This protects the highlights, gives good shadow detail, and reduces grain. (The grain reduction happens partly due to less dev time, partly due to the fact that with more exposure, a greater percentage of your image will be made up with the finer grains of the slower, more sensitive emulsion layer, rather than the coarser grains of the faster layer - all modern films have multiple layers for better results btw).
Don't go chasing developers before adjusting technique first.
Technique affects things much more than developer choice, let alone when choosing between general purpose developers.
The most "classic" combination obviously is TriX in D-76 (you can substitute with ID-11 in Ilford's range). You can try it if you want, but I think the issue is dev times and maybe secondarily agitation.
