I was always going to home grow mine though. I need to document the galleries and images into a easily query-able database. Already built the database structure, just need to make the script and start uploading images.

For me galleries are a huge part of my upload process. I have logic that determines if the number of total images is over 125 (post limit of thumbnails) then I should only select 4 image thumbnails and the gallery link instead. One thing that surprises me about pixhost is that the gallery ID is only 5 characters. It still provides 916132832 possible combinations with upper, lower, and number characters, so it's probably enough. Imagebam used 32 characters for their gallery hash.
