Digital BW, The Print

I have a polaroid scanner and it scans the variety of negatives I 
have shot over the years pretty well. The scans show the same film 
type of characteristics that I choose the film for in the first place.
Fine grain films are sharp and smooth and rather shorter scaled and 
higher speed films are longer scaled with open tones and a bit of 
grain.
Did you buy the camera to start shooting new negatives to scan with 
the polaroid machine? Are you going to just make digital prints? Or 
do you need the negative to make siver prints?
If you plan to just make digital prints I think the time is right for 
an all digital work flow...skip the negs altogether.
If you are going to make silver prints then of course you need the 
film. 
I don't think you need to take into consideration what the scanner 
can handle as it seems to do just fine with all of the different 
stocks. I think you should choose a film based on what you want your 
photos to look like. If you are just starting out with photography, 
go to a lot of exhibits-see what you like than find out how they were 
done. Sounds like copying, but if you us this idea as a starting 
point you will be able to determine which direction you need to go.
Sorry if this is too obvious-
