Peter - Not to be difficult, but I think the answer to your question will have a lot to do with both the enlarger that you're using for wet printing and the scanner you're using. A negative that prints easily with a condenser enlarger will not print the same way with a cold-light head. By the same token, different scanners have different light sources that may make for a scan with more or less contrast to begin with. Since you have less control in the darkroom, my suggestion would be to make negatives whose exposure and development allow you to make wet prints on a 2.5 or 3 paper grade, and then adjust your scanning to best capture the range of tones. What's tricky is that underexposure is what easily kills negatives for wet printing, and overexposure or overdevelopment can make a negative very hard to scan.
