I would differenciate between their uses:

This is pages.media. Any stuff can be uploaded here, most common are
images, but also PDFs etc might be relevant here.

+1 for a default of 5000 here.

This is tt_content.image. There might be people uploading TIFs oder
other stuff which TYPO3 will render as JPEG/GIF. An uncompressed TIF can
be pretty large. But I would limit that nevertheless:

+1 for a default of 5000.

This is sys_template.resources. This also can be anything, from PDFs,
TTFs, Images, etc.

+1 for a default of 5000.


Ok, at the end all three defaults ended up as 5000. :) But maybe others
have different feelings about the different fields. I would also try to
announce as a huge new feature the possibility to set TCA through
PageTS, which is pretty cool stuff indeed.
