I have my 400BWcn scanned at high res which allows at 8x10 print without allot of PS work. I'd recommend using Kodak C-41 BW, it's thicker than Ilford XP2 and less prone to scratching. Plus it handles scanning very well. Just be careful with 1hr labs, they do not tend to care about they're processing as much as a pro lab will. The Monica Dimage and Nikon scanners will allow higher res scans if larger prints are needed.
