Subject: [Leica] please help with film choice

I am about to embark on a long term documentary project that will require
film, I have been all digital for several years and have not kept up with
the development (or lack of) current products.
I would like a easily available color negitive film (C-41) that holds up
well to scanning in the 100-200iso range.
I'm thinking Fuji Reala because I can get it at a discount. I need to
standardize on one film to a) profile the film for the scanner b) be able to
buy it at any reasonably stocked camera store ( will be shooting at multiple
destinations so I want to buy the film on location instead of going thru
extensive and time consuming hand checks at the airport-will fed ex film to
lab on the way back).c) keeping a consistant "look".
Please offer any thoughts bearing in mind ease of scanning and availability.
Subjects will be mostly landscapes with a few people in them; 90% outdoors.
Thanks to those that respond.
