Here is a link that should help you..: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html There you'll find each manufacturer listed with what products are supported under SANE and the column "status", how well it works - or doesn't. Not exactly what you were looking for - aka, a direct recommendation, but it is likely the tool to get you what you need as far as information to make a decision.
