I suggest always saving Unflattened PSD files. Disk space is dirt
cheap and you never know when you want to go back and tweak a file.
Once you save it as a TIF and close the original PSD file, that option
is gone forever. 

It only takes seconds to flatten and sharpen a fle for printing then
close the file without saving. And just starting over one time to
change a file takes way more time that you could ever save. 

I also suggest saving the original scan file as a TIF. Like I said,
disk space is cheap and it's nice not to ever have to rescan.
