First it depends on the scanner driver. ICC savvy applications like
LInoColor, Imacon's FlexColor, SilverFast, allow you to load a scanner
profile, Working or Output profile and do all the work you want in the
driver. That doesn't invalidate the profiles (you don't have to lock the
scanner down).
As to which method is better (do this at the scan stage or simply tag the
data and work in high bit in Photoshop), that's up to you. From a control
standpoint, you can't beat seeing every pixel in Photoshop and having it's
fine toolset. From a productivity standpoint, you can scan quickly and send
all the files over a network to multiple users running Photoshop and let
them correct away. You offload the work of the scan operator away from a
single scanner.

Well you don't want to clip any data on either end of the tonal scale. What
a lot of folks do is scan a tad flat in high bit then adjust latter in
Photoshop.
