+1 for always cheese.
Let's not forget that featured images come in all flavors of ...
appropriateness[1]
I agree that cropping sucks when an important part of the subject get's
dropped, but since we have so little space we probably can't use a
constant-height thumbnail combined with a image-on-page fitting technique
like the one used for Google Images. It's interesting to note that
on mobile they dispense with this technique and go straight to cropped
thumbnails.

I like option B because it emphasises content and
it provides a
simplified exploration mode (scroll down) which is suited for
exploring "my
uploads". Nevertheless there are some aspects to consider:
• List length. One inconvenient for option
B may be the list
becoming too large to scroll. If recently added images appear on
top, the
need for scrolling will be greatly reduced (since recent content is more
likely to be accessed). If other order (e.g., alphabetic) is preferred
instead, adding a scroll thumb may help with navigation.
• Adequacy to the task. Although option B
is adequate for a task
such as the ones the user is expected to do in "my
uploads" a tile layout
may be considered for other tasks such as image curation (where a broader
overview may be desired to spot problematic images in a gaze).
• Reduce noise. I would consider to remove
descriptions and show
only the title with a bigger typeface using the room
currently used for the
description. Displaying the title is probably enough for the user to
identify his own uploads. The description can be shown either in the
separate detail view or on top of the image itself when tapping.

+1 to larger images with Image titles on them.
Tapping on them shows you
the uncropped full image (+ details)
