I hear a whisper in the wind about file size being a distinct though not foolproof hint of quality.
I definitely look at the file size first. Although, as you already alluded to, sometimes it gets cheated with the resolution being cropped to either the top or side. And a major issue with downloading large file sizes is if you are unlucky enough that there aren't many seeders.
