I think best practice (for portability) is still something like:

[% img_url = c.uri_for('/images') %]
[% FOREACH img IN lots_of_images %]
 <img src="[% img_url %]/foo.jpg" />
[% END %]

because you never know what the future holds, w.r.t. deploying in different
scenarios. Plus, that makes it easier to serve static content from a different
URL altogether (as I do) by just changing

 [% img_url = 'http://static.mystuff.foo' %]

in one place.
