Currently we are scanning our black & white negatives (of all sizes,
film and glass) to an 8Mg file size, these are 8bit grayscale image.
This will give an output resolution of over 300dpi at A4.
This was chosen as an efficient size for an image of photographic
quality for an 8" x 10" print.  These images are then written to CD
as uncrompressed Tiff files.
