This is a great topic to get people shouting on all sides. ;)

The key phrase, though, is that you really want best quality images. For best quality, you should resample/resize in Photoshop to at least close to final size/resolution and apply sharpening there. Then save and import into InDesign.

If image quality is less important than efficiency, then I'd say just bring 'em in and export to PDF.

This makes no difference whether you're sending the INDD package or making a PDF.
