Shiloh, have you researched or thought about Agfa Scala?  As you state you prefer transparencies, here is a black and white transparency film engineered specifically for scanning.  I use 120 format film and have tried the Kodaks and Ilfords prefer the Kodak T100 - but I shoot landscapes not portraits and it has a really nice look.  Scala is fantastic - if you are using digital darkroom.  NOT good for photographic printing though.

Just a thought

  Thank for the responses to my question.  Although I wanted 
  recommendations for "grain free" scans, I owe it to myself to try out 
  (no opun intended) Tri-X.

  Regards.
