Digital BW, The Print

I have used digital capture with medium format with a good workflow 
and printing.

I have missed the conventional darkroom from a processing 
standpoint, but not for printing.

Alas, I have been shooting film again(BW only) and I was interested 
in any input in terms of the workflow for scanning negative BW film 
right up to the point of photoshop. With digital, it's "capture one" 
with RAW image processing in photoshop.

With film, (I have a NIkon ls 9000 scanner) for best control of the 
negative in a raw sense, does anyone have a reliable workflow? 
Vuescan or silverfast ai software? Grayscale or RGB scan modes, etc.?

Many thanks!
