Digital BW, The Print

I've decided to dig out the old 4x5 Benderview and try
b&w film > scan > inkjet output.  However, I immediately
hit a snag.  How do I calibrate "personal film speed",
"standard print time", and "N, N+1, N-1, development"
for a negative to be scanned for digital output?  BTW, my
personal preferences are Ilford FP4+ developed in D-76,
D-76 1:1, or D-23.

My initial questions/thoughts are:

A – How can I carry out Zone system calibration digitally?  Or .
. .

B - Should I carry out all negative and proofing procedures
normally in the "wet" darkroom and then scan the resulting
negatives for digital output?  Or . . .

C - Do a classic "ring-a-round" for various lighting
conditions
and analyze the histograms for the best digital output?

Option "C" sounds intriguing, has anybody tried this?  ALL
opinions on these or other options are most welcome.

Thanks,
Steve T.
