If you want them to upload a single image that you then theme then I use image_field for that.
IF you want them to embed an image into their content then I generally use IMCE, which can be configured to create separate directories for each user so that they can see their own images. You can also configure different image repositories for roles.
I to tried image_assist and img_assist but started changing strategies in D6. Looks like IMCE has a stable release allready for d7.

What is the best practice for uploading inline images?
Effectively what I would like to achieve is that the users are presented with a simple Upload *from their computer* facility, and not be able to browse images already uploaded to the server.
I fear this is a really contentious issue with Drupal, and I'm sure many people feel as I do that there should be transparent and unified method for providing users with a simple and effective image upload facility.
At this stage I'm leaving well alone, as I don't want to be caught out with something like image.module and img_assist - again - on the next major version upgrade. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
