What Dan said about CCD vs. CIS scanners is MOST IMPORTANT!! So very often I want to scream when I see blurry scans of very nice, graded cards on Net54 and other sports-card-collector sites. I'm very happy with my Epson V330 scanner that I've had for a few years, but I don't know if Epson still makes this model.
