There is actually a pretty good article on scanning colour negs (ie film with 
the embedded cast) at the following link:

e_film.htm

I've never scanned any chromgenic B&W films so I'd be keen to hear the fors and 
againsts for each approach. I did some web searches but only found snippets of 
discussions, nothing absolute.
