Peter, You should use a hardner with your film and it is unnecessary to use it with prints. In fact if you are going to tone your prints, a hardner in the fix will make the toning process more time consuming.
Are you sure that the Ilford fixer you are using now does not contain a hardner already? If it does then there is no need for an additional hardening bath.

If you check with Ilford you will find that they (Ilford) recommend a fixer without a hardner for film. Most modern films no longer need a hardner; there are exceptions and of course then it would be helpful and in fact important to use a fixer with a hardner.
We use Ilford's Rapid fixer and have for many years.

I use (and have used for 20+ years) Hypam for film and paper (in the manufacturer specified dilutions for each) 5lt containers are a fair bit cheaper then buying it in 1lt bottles in this part of the planet... check your prices.
