What to buy? Need advice about scanner that works in linux.

I want to switch my hp scanjet 4400c. I need a scanner that works with Linux. My current one doesn't. Any recommandations? I'm lookin in the 100$ price area. I have only one candidate so far. Canon Lide 35. The worst part is that I'm not sure if it will work. The other "Lide" scanners do.
Need help fast as I have a buyer for my current scanner.

Here's a list of usb scanners and their level of support under linux:

I've seen that one before, I'm using this list:

But, I want to hear some first hand experience. Quality, functions, speed, etc...
