The dedicated slide scanners are usually easier and faster to use for slides than the flatbed units. One critical factor may be the condition of the slides. Often the scanners units that have ICE built in will save you tons of time and make really great scans. No matter what route you go you're in for a lot of work and you need to also take into consideration hard drive space. You are going to be dealing with file sizes that can reach 100mb plus per slide depending on how much resolution you scan them at. So also look into one of the external hard drives for storage. I often see them for about $80 for 250gb (after a rebate).
Cheers,
