Lower values are better for BSP, while on the other hand Terrain, mesh etc, require traditional power of 2 number, like 32, 64, 128 etc...

Actually you can use non power of two lightmap sizes with terrain and static meshes.

True, but I had UDK 'occasionally' crack under pressure from the bigger non-power numbers, like 1089, 2154, etc.

Not a common issue, but best avoid I say if possible.

Well those are larger than the texture atlases (1024x1024) into which the engine packs all lightmaps. Could be that.
