Glenn asks:

>Is there a viable flat-bed option for 35mm B&W?

I (and several others) on this list have sung the
praises of the Epson 4870.  It's a superb scanner and
almost certainly wins the cost/benefit sweepstakes
against anything else on the market, flatbed or film.

Produces exhibition quality 11x14s from 35mm film. 
Literally exhibition quality.  I produced many of the
prints at this exhibition from 4870 35mm scans:

It's fast, not at all temperamental or fiddly, and
also scans X-Pan negs, medium format and 4x5.
