I was able to get several 3 year old Mustek flatbed scanners to work more or less correctly with xsane last year. The only problem was finding and extracting the firmware code from the windows drivers so that xsane could properly initialize the scanners. It WAS documented, but it did take an hour or so to figure out. My suggestion is to print out the list of supported scanners before you go shopping, and be prepared to return a couple of them when they don't work.
