I store alot in databases.. when you deal with filesystem there can be issues with multiple webservers (need replication using something like rsync, etc).. I've used the db/filesystem link method before aswell but typically go with database nowdays.. You do have to query each time to get images out, be sure to look at sending correct cache headers to ensure clients don't keep coming back, or implement a caching system so that the webserver doesn't have to go back to the database for a query each time an image is requested..
