As I said in the first post, the bigger the better. When you make and apply a brush it's best to reduce the size rather than enlarge it past its original size as it'll go more and more blocky the larger you go.
Photoshop's image scale routine is very intelligent so shrinking a very large brush to quite small won't be that bad.
If you want to figure out the best size to use as a brush, try these steps:
1. Open one of your photographs
2. Layers>New Fill Layer>Solid Color (use white, #ffffff) then OK
3. Change the opacity of the fill layer to about 90% to barely see your picture
4. Add text to your picture and adjust size/font to suit
5. Once happy with the text put the opacity back too 100%, select the fill layer and press CTRL E to merge with your photo
6. You can now make a brush out of your text as normal
