For 35mm, flatbeds just do not have comparable resolution to a digital camera with a good macro lens. The most you'll get out of the best flatbed is about 2300dpi (measured from resolved detail, not pixels). Generally, you end up with about 6-8MP of usable detail.

If you own a digital camera already and are comfortable tinkering with your setup and workflow at first, camera scanning is the way to go. You'll get almost the full detail that 35mm film has to offer in less time overall for about the same cost.
