A cheap host may go up and down, TGPs do NOT like that and will have no problem canning the account.

2) Again, too many variables. Gallery size, gallery type, size of pics, and overall traffic are just a couple variables involved. Movie and pic galleries push completely different numbers.

If your friend is planning on doing galleries, I would suggest that he/she pick up a "gallery server". It's basically just a server that you're using mainly for galleries. Doesn't need to process many scripts or databases, something fairly simple. I can hook your friend up with a server for a good price. Another option would be a shared hosting account. I don't recommend virtual hosting, bandwidth is usually a little more expensive with virtual hosting. Your friend will burn through it easily.
I totally agree.
