At Colorado State, we have used the Epson Perfection scanners (with doc
feeder) for our student's AT stations, and have had good results
interfacing them with most all of our AT programs.  Although their
native scanning interface, the Epson interface, is not great, they can
be set up with the WIA or TWAIN drivers, and have never given us any
problems.  The doc feeder is more expensive than the scanner itself,
interestingly enough.  The Perfection 3170 with ADF runs about 400$ -
doc feeder can hold 30 pages.
 
We also have used Fujitsu flatbeds with doc feeders that we inherited
from our library.  These older Fujitsu's have been real workhorses, and
we found good access to drivers through Fujitsu Canada.  I have heard
some good things about the ScanParnter 15C... that runs around 700$, and
includes the ADF.
 
Best of luck,
Cath
