Back when I still shot film I had settled on Kodak's Portra UC. It was touted to have been developed to scan well. My experience with the color was very good. It was one of the few films that did a good job on both skin tones and vivid colors.
The brighter colors were well saturated, but not to the point of looking unnatural. Portra did a great job with the full range of fair to very dark skin tones. I'm sure it helped that I used a very competent lab.
