I sent some negatives and slides to drum scan to have the operator

used 6x6 Fuji NPS 160, a film has low granularity rating. The other
film I used was E100G slide film. I find it hard to believe the
operator's claim. It seems that he is doing something wrong. What
could it be and how to get the best scan out of my negatives?
By the way, they use Crosfield drum scanners.

I find NPS to be really a horrible film to scan for whatever reason,
E100 films are T grain color emulsion. NPH (400 asa) scans better
than NPS.

What are the best films for scanning say one or two brands/types
in each of these categories:

B&W (what's best old tech, new tech, chromogenic)
Colour Consumer films ( what's best Slide or Negative?)
Colour Pro films (what's best Slide or Neagtive?)
