BUT who  knows whether you might like one of those images printed larger -
even if you have to outsource it.  Rule:  scan at the best  optical
resolution of your scanner and tuck the file away.  If  computing constraints
are making work too cumbersome then copy this  file and down-res it to 720dpi
for your 8x10s.
 
I concur with this advice. The exception might be 8x10 film, as I find 1200  
PPI to yield a huge print capability at over 100 megs.

Since Film is a 4-letter word that starts with "F", I like the TLA (3  letter 
acronym) or A.L.D. much better.................Analog Legacy Data. None  in 
the new millenium for me, the digital capture  freak.
