We chose the ScanSnap because:
1. Speed
2. OCR
3. Ability to deal with odd-sized documents (small receipts and larger contracts)
4. Sheet feed (great for the 70 page shareholder agreement documents)
5. Auto-rotate (2 of those pages in that 70 page document were landscape, the rest portrait)
6. Scanning both sides (and discarding blank scans automatically).
7. Easy to service and clean (under heavy use the rollers get mucky in all feed-based scanners)
8. Small footprint when not in use
And what finally sealed it: Linux support.

We are a Linux shop, and whilst we have a Mac and a Windows machine for testing everyone has a Linux machine.
