No, actually, I haven't worked with *any* film scanners.  I'm drawing 
my conclusions from various photo lists.  It seems like the vast 
majority of scanned negatives that aren't done at the lab happen with 
either a Nikon scanner or a Konica/Minolta scanner.  Keep in mind that 
these are very rough estimates on my part with no scientific basis.  
Anyway, I'd love to hear pros or cons but I bet I can find those on the 
archives.
