The main problem with Commons (at least for the pictures I took while mapping) is that there is no guarantee your pictures will be kept. For the good ones, there is no problem. For the 1000th picture of a bus stop and its surroundings, they will be nominated and removed.
Personally I would go with Mapillary, they even have a tool to contribute the better ones to Wikipedia. It's practical, but then they get a small Mapillary icon. At least they will get a free license attached. If you post them on Fickr, they're already lost for the community.
