I can second that.  Ilford and Kodak make b&w films for C41 processing 
(WalMart, Walgreen etc.), and in my experience they scan better than 
conventional negatives.  A downside is that they are shorter-lived, but 
in theory at least they are forever once scanned.  Or, absent scanning,  
as a long-time client of mine once said, at my age I don't buy green 
bananas.
