I know I'd use the file system, but rather than starting another thread to ask about this, just search the archives. I've seen a few separate threads where this was discussed, and IIRC almost everybody agrees that you shouldn't put binaries into a DB. And 25k files can add up quickly, your DB is not as efficient with this than the file system.
