That depends on what you're scanning, and the size of the original. Paul Gallagher found that an Epson V750 gave better scans than an Imacon for his purposes, because the Imacon captured the grain perfectly in the skies of his landscapes, and he didn't think grainy clouds were natural. The difference in the sharpness of the foreground could be eliminated by sharpening. Note: this was 5x4 film.
Upscaling will produce a bigger file, and a smoother print; but it can't create detail that wasn't there in the first place.
