For a custom plugin I used the users UID and the firstletter of the 
filename to make sure I can use massive amouth of images.

So my path looks something like this for users that where logged in into 
my system:

/uploads/tx_extention/u/150/r/xxxxxxxx-ries.gif

For anonymnouse users:
/uploads/tx_extention/a/r/xxxxxxxx-ries.gif

The 8 x is a actualy random string to allow uploads of the same filename 
twice.
This because so many digital camera's create the same filename and this 
allows me to be uploaded.
even though the filename is the same.
Also whenever I create a directory I pleace a empty index.html in there 
so people cannot browse it easely.
