I can't answer you about the scanner, I use VueScan with an Epson 636U. 
But I can say that it's super easy to use and getting easier with each 
revision (and it's revised OFTEN!). It creates much better scans than I 
was getting out of the Epson Twain driver in OS 9. I have it save a 
.tif file to the desktop, and then I open that file in Photoshop to 
edit. I typically rename the file in the Finder before editing (by 
default the file is named something like crop001.tif from VueScan). 
There may be a way to scan directly into Photoshop, but it works just 
fine doing it separately.
