Flatbed scanners can be good, but only if they are of the (much more expensive) type that has an additional light in the lid as well as under the glass.

Not exactly a recommendation but a suggestion of something to avoid: There are a number of flatbed scanners that have "film scanner" attachments. If you plan on scanning a lot of negatives I'd suggest not buying something like this because they are typically very slow.
They're also completely awful and give terrible results. I know this one from the "negative holder" that came with my flatbed scanner ...
Yes, after a long search, I finally decided to ask a professional protographer to digitize my old films and slides instead of buying a scanner. For film, it comes to about 0.25 € per image, and 0.50 € per slide. I found cheaper on the web, but I don't know about the quality.
