IMO as a person who did a lot of analog photography going to a decent lab and having them scan it will be the best option unless you plan to develope and scan a film every month. Buying a scanner of a quality that matches the lab is a not going to be cheap and unless you have a steady output of negatives (or a huge collection of material and the the time to scan it) it is not going to pay off. I'd say go to the lab unless you wanna have the scanner for other things (e.g. artwork).
