I'll second the Epson 1660 recommendation.  These are being sold at
discounted prices now.   The Epson 2400 and 3200 are also good Linux
scanners.
The "photo" models have a built in backlight, and xsane will turn it on
when you select transparency source.
I would also recommend against the new Epson XX70 series scanners.  They
are not compatible with Linux (at least for now.)
I have a short how-to posted on the Libranet support solutions data base
