Generally speaking, regardless of developer, a lower gamma is more
desirable, especially with consumer grade scanners like the Epson flatbeds
(or other brands), since their ability to properly scan dense highlights is
limited compared to a dedicated film scanner, high end flat bed or drum
scanner.

Scan a step tablet to discover the effective dynamic range of your specific
scanner.
