My recommendation is to scan with the large TIF for better resolution for editing.
But for general use in Legacy, I make smaller 150-200 dpi copies of my "archival" scan and link those after placing them in the c:\Legacy\Pictures folder. That's the recommended resolution for publishing. The lower resolution is perfect for printing books and charts, even wall charts because it's perfectly adequate for pictures up to 4x6" in size.
