I'd suggest scanning as B&W neg film, 16-bit greyscale.
You can find several good web tutorials on the topic, but
basically, you probably want to scan to capture as much of
the range of the negative as possible, resulting in what may
be a somewhat flat scan and then adjust it afterwards (saving
the original) for printing.
