HI-
I think it is the case that, even where printers support OBJ files, they are converted to STL for printing. You should find with your work that around 250 000 polys from ZBrush decimation is fine- anything larger and the faceting from the poly reduction is usually smaller than the resolution of the printer in any case. I've got very detailed smooth prints from files that looked quite faceted on screen. 1 million polys is very high- i've never done a model that high res and I've been doing this professionally for three years now- you may find differently.
Also, the STL file size to polys is pretty linear- a 150 000 point ZBrush file is around 15 meg, and a 350 000 file is 35 meg etc, assuming you use a decent STL writing tool. Zbrush's is not very good!
