well, as far as the polaroid goes: they make some 'INSTANT' slide films, a few versions of color (high contrast, etc.) and a few black and white as well. you have to process them yourself, which it isnt really a problem if you have one of their machines (i belive the chemicals are acutally contained in the film itself). you can find a "polaroid processor" on ebay for under 30 bucks. the film (called "polapan" costs about 15-17 per roll (?). i hear they yield sastifactory results, but yet have to try it. well, good luck.
