Rob, I have an Epson Perfection 2450 PHOTO scanner and I love it. It is a 48 bit, 2400x4800 dpi reflective flatbed scanner. I'm not sure if this model is still made, but I'm sure Epson still makes a similar one. I use it all the time with big stuff (make multiple scans and paste together in Photoshop), little stuff, 3-D stuff. Also have READiris 9.0 which is OCR (optical character recognition) software. It works well with the Epson scanner. It is Firewire and USB ready and included Photoshop Elements.
Sometimes I scan using (READiris) he directions inside the box lid of an old foreign game. I then copy and paste the results into Babel Fish (http://world.altavista.com/tr) and get the instructions translated from German or Dutch to English. Works well with photos, negatives, 35-mm (and larger) transparencies. Depending on what you want there may be cheaper scanners that would do the job for you. In fact Epson now offers scanners with higher dpi for lower price. But I've never been disappointed with Epson.
