Paul,
Apart from gross exposure errors, misfocusing and terrible composition it's hard to tell if a negative is worth scanning, so you may need to scan them all and sort on screen. With transparency film, however, I prefer to sort and pick the contenders for scanning by looking at the slides with a loupe on a light table.
Scanning is labour intensive, so anything you can do to minimize scanning time will make the task far easier and faster — and keep you from going bonkers.
