I personally prefer the larger images, and I'm okay with cropping things because I
think it's possibly going to be a software necessity.
(I used to crop my gallery thumbnails at the same aspect ratio as the image themselves,
so it was some 72x72 pixel frame of something much larger and it was a surprise what the
photo was in the end.)

That has danger of removing the relevant parts of the
image or in the case of panoramas, just plain misrepresenting them as something they
ain't, though.

Images are all manner of aspect ratios and thus they will not line up like you make out
in the mockups unless you arbitrarily crop them or do something funky with them, and
making them smaller limits the funky things that can reasonably be done.
On iOS I'm cropping them to squares for the grid view. This is pretty common, and
you'll see it done in the system 'Photos' or 'Gallery' apps on iOS and
Android as well as sites like Flickr in big list views.
Generally you see the image in its full aspect ratio on a detail view.
