What do you mean by good? Oversized full frame windows, rigid mounts that do not bend or bow, mounts that keep the film chip flat, or something else?

[filmscanners] Re: 35mm slide mounts for scanning
To do all the things that Laurie mentioned, find some Wess full frame mounts with pegs in them the sprocket holes fit over. This mount will show the whole frame and will hold it very flat. I have used them in the darkroom when masking 35mm slides. I believe that someone has bought out Wess but is still making at least some on their mounts. Wess mounts were/are the professional standard for audio/visual displays. I can look up the stock number for them if you need it. The only drawback there might be to them is that they are a little thicker than a standard mount so if you have a scanner that is finicky, they may not work for you.

Mounts that keep the frame as flat as possible. Thanks...

[filmscanners] RE: 35mm slide mounts for scanning
Those that keep the film chip the flattest would be glass mounts where the film chip is sandwiched between two pieces of anti-newtonian glass; but there is always the possibility that (a) it will be too thick for your film scanner, (b) you will get newtonian rings despite the anti-newtonian glass, and (c) you will have to be involved with maintenance keeping the two pieces of glass clean. However, if that is the route you wish to try, you can look into Gape slide mounts if they are still in business. If you wish to avoid the additional maintenance work of a glass mount, need a thin mount, and want to avoid the possibility of newtonian rings, then you would be looking at a glassless mount. For those, you might check Weiss, which someone else already mentioned, Loesch in Pa (USA), or Pakon. Needless to say, I do not know if these manufacturers products are available in the UK; but they are for the most part in the US.

Those that keep the film chip the flattest would be glass mounts where the film chip is sandwiched between two pieces of anti-newtonian glass; Anti-Newton glass will show extra grain in the scan, because of the roughed glass surface.
