Two comments.
Sharon mentioned having CVS put your prints on CD. I've done that once, before I had a digital camera, but it was Wal Mart, not CVS. The results were terrible. Their process is apparently a high-speed deal that makes inferior scans. I don't recommend it.
Second, if you stick with film, why not use slide film? Slides seem to preserve color very well, and detail is not lost in printing. You could use a slide projector and make the image any size you like without paying for mega size prints. Of course, sooner or later someone will accuse you of projecting the image on your canvas.
I worked at a photo lab in college, and I have seen how much detail gets lost in printing. If you lighten the print to pick up dark features, the whites are washed out. Darken, and you lose everything in shadow. Slides lose nothing.
