All-in-One Devices and Acrobat

I'm looking for recommendations for All-in-One machines that work well with Adobe Acrobat. While online reviews are nice, they rarely get into the kind of detail I need.

Here's the horror story. We recently purchased an HP Officejet J4580, because it had a sheet feeder and fax capability, as well as the ability to receive faxes and save them to my hard drive. However, the software running the sheetfeeder is extremely unreliable: it frequently ignore the pages in the feeder in favor of scanning the 'glass.' The TWAIN interface doesn't coordinate well with Acrobat, or any other program-- which is terrible, since Adobe enables me to scan both sides of front-and-back-sided documents and reorder the pages automatically.

So, I'd like to ask Acrobat users-- which All-in-Ones have served you reliably and efficiently in scanning documents?

Personally, I don't find most sheet feeders worth a darn. If you have a lot of scanning of documents a dedicated sheet feeder is worth the price of admission. The Fujitsu Snapscan 1500 has technology designed to detect misfeeds. However, it doesn't replace the need for a traditional scanner for books and other media.
