How to prepare images for Publisher

What's the best way to prepare digital images (JPGs) for insertion into Publisher 2003? If the resulting file size is no object and if the only concern is the quality of the printed document, should all images be converted to 150 DPI? Should they be resampled to approximately the same size as will appear in the publication. Is there any advantage to oversizing them? Again, if quality output is the only concern, is there an advantage to embedding or linking the images?
Thanks in advance etc., etc.

For print output I'd recommend 300 dpi.
For web output 96 dpi.
The larger the original image the larger the pub file, personally I
recommend having them close in size to what you want leaving only minor
sizing adjustments to be done in the document. With a web publication that
is a must.

If you are only printing to an inkjet or laser printer 150dpi is the correct
DPI setting. You will get no improvement whatsoever using a higher
resolution.

For offset printing you would use 300dpi

You will get no improvement whatsoever using a
higher resolution.

I can tell the difference between a 150dpi image and a 300dpi full-page
image output at high quality on my printer.
