If you're otherwise happy with the size you're scrapping now, I'd stick with square and either mount his work to fit, scan and reduce his artwork, or use a different book for it. The disadvantages to rectangle are:

-it's getting harder to find albums
-you have to adapt templates
-when papers have edge details (like distressing or darker edges) you usually lose them
-I can't say for sure, but I think not scrapping square is a point against you when applying for CTs

That said, I'm all for people coming back to 8.5x11 and changing the disadvantages!
