I've been using Supra 100 happily for a year or more, 
pretty much since I learned of its existence.  Very nice for 
scanning, both on my Polaroid and now on my Nikon 
film scanners.

Fuji Reala is also very high on my list.  Very nice stuff.

As I understand it, Supra 100 is mostly a repackaging 
of some older Kodak film, whereas the faster Supra films 
are new formulations designed specifically for scanning.
