Espon's line of flat bed scanners that are designed for film would be my recommendation. I use a v700 which is excellent. The less expensive v600 might be fine, though.
The reason I recommend these for someone in your position is that they handle formats other than 35mm. The v700 handles 35mm, 120 (6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7 & 6x9), 4x5 and 8x10 "out of the box". With a little ingenuity, you can also scan 110, 126, & 127 (common amateur formats) in addition to a number of older & larger roll film formats (116, 616, 00, ...). The less expensive v500/600 scanners (out of the box 35mm & 120) are limited to the 120 formats at the largest, but can still be used, with home-made masks, for 110, 126 & 127.
