I have a great scanner so now the issue is positive or negative. Any
firsthand experience?

I far prefer scanning positives. You see what you are supposed to be
getting, and the colors are more vibrant. Also, I find grain less obtrusive
with the Fuji 100F films than with most color negative films. I find Provia
100F a real joy to work with. Other folks prefer Velvia 50. Astia 100F for
portraits and when less contrast is desirable.
