I also highly recommend Epson's scanners. I have an Epson Perfection 610
from a little while ago which I bought for < $100 and it has worked
perfectly with xsane from day one. This was not the case with the UMAX
SCSI scanner I used to own, which worked half the time and once failed
outright, necessitating a complete replacement (it was still under
warranty but nevertheless it was inconvenient.)
