RE Streamline: I don't know whats best, but I've learned what can work…. I'm using a 300 dpi scanner with 16 grey scale (?) scanner (canon) and if Fairbairn is reading this I would like a 256 scale!!!! I'm using Macscan with it, and the solution for quality is the old trick of inputting big. Often I'll blow something up on a photocopier 200% and then another 200%. Most stuff is ok at 100%, some need the blowups, and occasionally I'll still have to open it up in Illustrator and tweak it. Recently i redid the nameplate of our newspaper using this technique. After the scarey first glance, it probably took about 40 minutes to fix the type so the typesetters couldn't tell the difference between their version and my Illus version, complete with separations. The bottom line is Streamline may not always be perfect, but it's real close, and financially worth the effort to fix.
