First half answer:

  I use an HP ScanJet for B/W, OmniPage for OCR. Works adequately well.
I use (I'll check) for scanning graphics images, like it much better. It
only generates MacPaint or TIFF, but with pbm that's not a problem, so
it works for me.

  I'll try to get the color info, my color scanner is hooked to a PC
right now, but it has Mac interface and software. I'll check how well
the Mac software works.

  Note that I use both of these to get stuff in and then use the images
on a workstation, so I can't tell you much more than how well they grap
data. And if you get better answers I won't even bother typing in mine.
