I too love B&W, and have shot substantially in digital. If you are going for the Adams aesthetic, you want dynamic range and resolution. If you want street photography style, anything on the market will do. If it's really a B&W first purchase, check the camera has a B&W mode so your previews immediately show in B&W, and be triple-sure areas with maximum tones (blown whites, lost tone in pure black) is easily visible. Because tones are usually pushed in classic B&W, the ability to preview against custom tone adjustment profiles but also store RAW would be ideal. Every camera has dual JPG/RAW since ~2010, but the profiles may be substantially different in software both in terms of config and UX.
