A good suggestion to work from:
600px on the long side in the MINIMUM desired picture size. That doesn't mean you have to make everything that size. Don't be so constrained, you can do 650 or 700 on the long side without issue.
If your images get down under 40k, you really need to worry about the quality of the image. Bandwidth these days is relatively inexpensive, so moving up to 60k per picture should not bankrupt you.
Also, if you have larger images that have the model a little further away from the camera than you like, consider cropping the images as opposed to just shrinking the image, provided you are allowed to do this by your content license. This can really help make those images pop.
Moving to slightly large thumbs will keep people from clicking on every picture, which can actually save you bandwidth and offset the punishment for having larger images as I mentioned above.
Finally, clearer images may help you if you are selling a higher quality sponsor (the old asian4you program had really nice sponor content, the quality of the images sold the site). Don't be shy to show your sponsor off well.
