Would there be a particular line of scanners which function flawlessly
in linux, or am I expecting too much?

Not exactly the best solution, but I have a Epson Artisan all-in-one
device with a network connection, so when I want to use the scanner,
I crank up a Windows virtual machine and scan from there over the network,
saving the files on a samba mount that is served by the host.

The hplip package (which you can get from the fedora repos) has
support for most HP all-in-one devices, but essentially no stand
alone scanners.

 It sees this particular stand-alone just fine, but it simply doesn't work fine. The scanner interface will either lock up or simply crash. In order to get it to start scanning again I have to either reboot or kill the scanlite process...

Never used scanlite. I always either scanned directly from GIMP or via CLI(if I remember correctly). Based on experience I doubt your issues are hardware related on the computer side(doesn't mean they're not but I'd say unlikely). Most scanners are made pretty cheap. That said, have you tried a different USB cable? ppl tend to overlook that part of the equation...

Have you tried Xsane? Looks to me like that's the more "mainstream" app for what you're trying to do.
