Like others, I've also had good luck with Brother. I have a Brother DCP-7065dn right now, which does about everything you might want except it can only scan single-sided. I see it's $170 on Amazon now, which is a bit more than I paid for it about a year and a half ago, but it's still reasonably priced, as is OEM toner (a bit less than $50 for the high-capacity/2600-page cartridge).
Also like others, I also recommend against using the built-in wireless functionality of most printers, which I've generally heard to be unreliable. I think many people are unaware that you can get an effectively wireless printer with any networkable printer if you just plug it into your presumably already-existing wired portion of your also-wireless network. (If you're using a wireless router that doesn't have extra wired ports so you can't do this, consider adding a network switch to your setup.) With the right router (e.g., AirPort Extreme Base Station) or a print server (a computer you have that's usually on?), you can even do the same with just a USB printer.
If you need duplex scanning from the document feeder, you might want to go with others' suggestions (the 9970CDW sounds like it can duplex scan, but I've rarely seen this feature outside of large office copy machine-type equipment, so I don't know). But if you can live with single sided scanning and want a small, affordable printer with apparently reasonable TCO
*, I wouldn't hesitate to look at the Brother DCP-7065dn--or, really, any similar model.
PS - Thanks to the reviewer who pointed out that the Brother app allows printing to this from iOS. I did not know that, nor will I probably ever want to use it--but I'll have to check it out in any case. EDIT: Actually, Brother's site seems to indicate that this isn't the case:

PPS - I don't think your dislike of inkjets is unreasonable at all, especially if you're primarily printing text. If you print too infrequently, the inkjet may dry out and create problems; if you print too frequently (and even if you don't), the cost of ink is probably greater than that of toner. Laser also produces a generally higher-quality print, and it won't bleed or smear if it gets wet.
*The only part I can't estimate the cost or life of is the fuser. I've had two Brothers at home for a couple years and have never had to replace it, but we have a couple in small offices at work that go through a ton more printing than I do and we've had to do it on one. I don't know how much it cost, but it was a pain to replace and I'm not sure to what extent Brother officially supports this.
