If I am scanning photos that I might crop, should I scan them large?

Because of this forum, I know that anything larger than 4000x4000 can drive FCP crazy. I'm scanning photos that I might crop. Given the fact I might crop them, does it make sense to scan at more than 4000x4000? My reasoning is that if I crop it, this way I can still have it at the maximal pixel size to have a high quality image. I'm about to scan a ton of stuff from an archive. I got one chance with the slides and photos and I wanna make sure I do it right!
