I think I tend to post pics at 800 pixels as it presents a nice compromise - big enough to show sufficient detail in most instances, but small enough to load quickly and doesn't require a left/right scroll for my default window size.

That being said, sometimes I think there is a need to show a larger image, and IMO an 800-pixel cap is too small, as it might require unnecessary edits in order to show sufficient detail. So IMHO I would suggest going with either the 1024 or 1280 cap if server space and bandwidth allow for it...
