All of those are "freemium" like Dropbox, but you got me doing a little research, and Dropbox actually has higher bandwidth caps than Photobucket, and both Photobucket and imgur compress and/or resize everything you upload, whereas Dropbox duplicates the original file. The main drawback to Dropbox is it doesn't have all the forum/blog oriented copy-and-paste sharing options or easy upload-from-URL, but chances are you already have a workflow to deal with that.
The service I saw mentioned several places as the best image host these days is
Minus, which has a 10GB storage limit and no bandwidth limits, and does offer all the convenience features of other image hosts. One of my main objections to using Dropbox for image hosting is I use Dropbox for a lot of other things, including all my personal photos and documents, and I'd rather keep web images compartmentalized in a more disposable account.
