Particularly good or bad films for scanning

Other suggestions?

Sensia 100 (Astia 100) (old).
Portra 160NC
Velvia (both)
E100G (okay, I've only done one so far, but looked good).
K Tmax 100

KRG 100 always scanned well for me. I don't use it anymore.

Superia 400 scans well, but getting the color right in some
situations might be tough. (My girlfriend uses it EI'd at 200
and I scan it for her. Usually okay but some trouble with 'gold'
colors (grass reed in fall, etc.)

Tough to scan:
K E100S (grain, colors are great though).
K E100GX (grain, I've only shot one roll though)

CW used to be that thinning out slides (1/3 to 1/2 over exp) was
helpful to scanning, but with the later 16 bit/channel scanners I
don't believe this is applicable. I don't thin them out anymore
(I used to bracket a shot just for my old scanner; new scanner I
don't bother).

Cheers,
Alan
