Large TIFFs can be problematic. For the some of my past projects relying on TIFFs, I have created PNG files and JPEGs to help with their reuse, but always uploaded the original TIFF. Note that at the current time TIFFs cannot be browsed in the media player, so they are not ideal if you want the images to be used on Wikipedia articles etc.
