I'd strongly recommend the Softek Barcode reader. We currently use this in a medical claims processing app to read barcodes from scanned documentation, coupled with a standard 3of9 barcode font for print output.

On a side note, the Softek reader lets us pull a barcode straight off of a TIF image, and the 3of9 output is pretty standard for any barcode reader (I picked up a cheap test unit from Amazon for dev purposes), so testing, etc. is a breeze.
