I have used Scala a great deal and it scans superbly. It is very
unforgiving and exposure needs to be accurate, but when it is right it is
superb, especially when viewed through a projector. As you say, meter for
the highlights, or at the least the brightest area where you want to see
detail. I have scanned hundreds of Scala slides on my LS30 and here are
some examples (not the best but OK to see the scanning qualities on a low
level scanner):

The only drawback to Scala is that it needs to be processed by a lab,
although I did hear from a guy a few months back who had tried processing it
himself with some success.
Give it a shot, it is impressive film and is excellent even when pushed to
1600 (as in the mother and baby image).
