Either approach is fine, just so long as you gap some of this quality traffic. I started out using Jim's approach, then I went to Simon's and now what we do is select 24 to 30 images from a set, build the free site using 20 to 24 of the images (we always try to state with 20 but can not always lay it out with that few), then we take gallery 1 of the HFS and modify it for the TGP gallery. Thus, we have 256's HFS and 256 FHG's. We have found that by letting the HFS drive the FHG that you can keep both looking fresh since you do not have to develop your HFS theme around a damn gallery template.
One thing that sponsors fail on in the HFS world and it is almost as important to link list owners as the quality of the HFS, has only been mentioned one time in all the HFS discussions on the board. In this thread

The point is in order to be successful with HFS's, sponsors have to commit to putting HFS's out on a regular basis. I would say at least one per week for each site, but never more that one per day per site. As for as consistency in producing hosted free promos, I think Extreme Paychecks has nailed it.
