  2. Short of de-registering the built in shortcode tag, copying the function and re-registering it with some modifications you could filter on wp_get_attachment_link. The problem is this affects everywhere that function is used.

    Saying that it might not be such a bad thing:

    add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_link', 'my_attachment_link', 10, 6 );
function my_attachment_link( $link, $id, $size, $permalink, $icon, $text ) {
    if ( !is_admin() ) {
        // if we're linking to the file itself
        if ( ! $permalink )
            $link = preg_replace("/href='([^']+)'/", "href='" . wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'my-custom-size', false ) . "'", $link );
    }
    return $link;
}

    This will override any links generated to the original size file on the front end with a link to the size you specify in the second argument in wp_get_attachment_image_src().
