I'm running XC Pro and providers will be uploading product images of varying sizes and proportions. About 60% of the images will be "portrait" orientation (higher than they are wide) and 40% will be landscape (wider than they are high).
I'm trying to decide on the best template setup that will result in a clean, orderly appearance on the product listing pages.
I'll probably use boxes to outline each product as in:

but would appreciate any other suggestions or links to good examples.
Also, if I wanted to set a standard image size that would be the most versatile and would work well with most images, what's the best width-to-height aspect ratio to use (e.g. a square image (100%), 67%, 80%, etc.)?
Thanks for any comments.
