I always use the following rule of thumb when using texture map images.
I scale my brush to approximate the amount of screen area it will cover.

For example, if the surface will appear in no more than 1/4 of the rendered
frame, I will scale it to 1/4 of the size that I am rendering.  Going too
far below this will begin to show pixelization/blurring in the map.  Of course
the texture map anti-aliasing does an excellent job of covering the pixelization
but when you're in too close on the surface, but there's a bit of blurring
as a side effect.

Be seeing you...
