I'm not sure why (avoidance of distortion?) but I've always understood 
to avoid wide angle lenses for multi-image panoramas.  I usually shoot 
at 50mm or its digital equivalent.  If you're trying to produce a wide 
and narrow pano (I don't go for this 360 degree or spherical stuff) a 
wide lens may also include a lot of sky or ground that you'll ultimately 
have to crop away.

Of course, if you want to make a really huge print you would use a 
longer focal length and take more images to collect more detail.
