RE:
Scott,
Toning before fixing might help preserve the delicate tones on the exposed paper. GOld toner is a classic for toning, I had good luck with platinum toner as well. The print is placed in a toner first and then fixed after toning.
Scanning of freshly exposed prints was not a problem on my scanner, I did not notice any change before and after scanning. My prints were classical botanicals exposed in full sun.
Here are some examples

Let us know what works. I found these very long exposures fascinating.
