For film the hasselblad x5 is one of the best out there.

If you can afford - take a real filmscanner. They are worth their price. Nikon 5000 oder 9000 (if 6x6 is needed) is best in its class. Else use one from later Reflecta oder Pacific-Imaging models (RPS 7200 or Pro 7200) for KB.
Medium format can be scaned at acceptable levels using more sophisticated flatbed-Scanner like Epson V700 oder V750 or Canon 8800f or 9000f

I have an Reflecta RPS 7200 which can handle the whole film in one pass. I do use it with Vuescan (Silverfast is also very good, but much more expensive). I also owned a Refleta Crystalscan 7200 - optical it is quite similar, but its fully manual (after each photo you got to open the scanner, align the new foto and scan and so on. Quite annoying after a few photos).
All photos marked as film (bw400CN) are scanned with these two. If needed i can upload a scan in full view. For medium format i use an very old Epson 1640 Photo. But thats by far not optimal.

The SHIT rule for starters:
Scan
High
Then
Reduce
I typically scan 35mm at a minimum 1200dpi, 2400dpi if I got alot of physical RAM I can exploit.

Cool photo.
On scanners, short of dropping big bucks on one of the Hassy models, for MF the Epson V750 is one of the best out there. You may also want to look into aftermarket negative trays. Lots of good noises made about this guys' custom negative trays [link]

In my photog class we scanned in all out negatives. used an epson scanner with a negative tray, you can choose which size tray you want. Then used a program called "silverfast" which scanned them in for you. You can choose dpi, print size, film type and so on... pretty good program.

Epson V500. Scans negs up to 6cm x 9cm. A 6x6 neg at 4800x4800 dpi yields a 12 megapixel file. Very nice. Dust is the enemy. Love the bunny ears.

don't know much about films as I only work with digital device but:
- you need a pretty good scanner
- you need an adapter for your films (often delivered with the scanner)
once you're ok with that, I assume your scanning software will offer a negative scan mode...
