Arista Edu 100 is cheap in the US from Freestyle, $2.20, quite a bargain.
I can't answer for development, it was done by Adolph Gasser in San Francisco, which is a very good service for B&W if you live here.
Scans are via my old Canon 8400 flatbed, 1600dpi originally. It does a better job on B&W than color, and much better with medium format than 35mm. Oddly, even if I specify B&W negative on the scan it actually does a color scan anyway. I desaturated in GIMP to make JPG's.
Overall I think the contrast right off the film/scanner is excellent. The camera scratches the film I think, so I need to fix that. It does not scratch film if I use the 4.5x6 mask.
