I am using the Epson 4870. It is a flat-bed scanner with
adapters/holders for 35mm (neg and slides), as well as
6x6/6x7/6x4.5, and 4x5 films.
I liked it better than a Nikon drum scanner I have accessed to.
For better quality, I goes to an Imacon. I mainly shoot B&W
and E6, so I have no experience how well it works with C-41
negs.
There is a review of the Epson 4870 scanner at the following:

Since the 4870 is no longer in production, I think you can
get the 4990 (refurbished) directly from Epson for about
$300.
