Default

When it comes to default scans displayed in an album entry (usually the Front cover), I don't think the size really matters. It's resized and processed on the server, so the result can be of varying quality and in my personal opinion these downsized high-res scans sometimes look worse as the default display image in comparison to a small front cover.

Generally the aim should be to provide full sets of high-res scans, but personally I wouldn't link quality with just DPI and I prefer a "Front (small)" in many cases to a lacking or badly scanned high-res picture (e.g. for display in foobar)

Also we don't really have a definition of size categories for pictures. Suruga-ya is a good resource for CD covers and while they've been improving the size of pictures, it's still considered small by VGMdb standards -- not that I mind..
