I think that whether to scan in RGB or grayscale is very scanner and film 
dependent. If find that with my Coolscan LS-2000 I get much better results 
(particularly in terms of the tonal range) when I scan in RGB. I use 
chromogenic films most of the time. 
 File size should not be an issue. I do not save the scanned file until I 
have converted to grayscale. While I have never had much luck with it, there 
are those that argue that scanning the neg as a positive and then inverting 
in PS is the way to go.
