Digital BW, The Print

I do a RAW export, then put the film away. Then I try various things with the RAW file, including playing with all the Vuescan settings (by opening the RAW file into Vuescan), and/or ACR, and Photoshop.

Much better and faster not to have to rescan the film to try a workflow based on exporting as negative vs. as positive, for example.
