One of the reasons for thumbnails is to reduce loading times, and that wont happen if you use the original file.
they both have advantages and disadvantages... the large image will always have the advantage that it loads instantly when you click it, which is a much more pleasant experience for broadband users...
broadband users don't feel a thing when they need to load an extra 500 bytes for a thumbnail in case they both load the thumbnail and afterwards the original picture... It is always a bad practice.
