Would a high resolution digital picture be superior to a scan???

Then you want to find the negatives and scan those - Richard's Photo in SoCal is used by many pros and will do a better job than nearly any DIYer.
If you have only a few of them you can DIY with a negative adaptor on a camera. They will be fine if you do it right but it is laborious. You need an even light source also.
If you only have prints then buy/rent a flat bed and do that - you need a flat bed scanner that has adequate resolution, which will be determined by the grain of the print (and the size). Inspect the prints with a loupe to see how grainy they are.
re the last question - depends - a high quality scanner (pro) will always do the best job
