I only do 35mm at the moment, and I use a Plustek with Silverfast for scanning the negs.
Dedicated 35mm scanner is apparently better, quality-wise, compared to flatbeds, but usually more of a hassle.It's good you're competent at scanning images in general, but if you're going the Silverfast route prepare to invest a lot of time getting to know how it works and to be frustrated a lot because it really doesn't make your life easier.

what are peoples thoughts on scanning flatbed (Epson V5/6/700?) vs dedicated 35mm scanner? (Plustek 8100?) i've got a good shoe box full of negs i'd like to revisit...
Obv: flatbed i can scan multiple frames at at time. however Plustek does come with a copy of Silverfast.
I haven't ever scanned film so have no idea of the best work flow... I do however use Photoshop/Camera Raw and are pretty competent at scanning images
