I haven't been using Vuescan - I use the Nikon scanning S/W
with my LS-9000.  I scan B&W negs as 16-bit monochrome.

C41 B&W, I usually scan as monochrome, but I haven't scanned much of
it in a while.  The Nikon S/W lets me enable Digital ICE even when
scanning as monochrome, though I haven't really experimented with it
much because, as I mention above, I haven't scanned much C41 B&W.
